/** This example shows how to serialize a subclass whose superclass is not
 * serializable.

 * When a superclass of a particular is not serializable, the subclass is
 * responsible for saving the state of its supertype (in its writeObject)
 *
 * Compiled and Tested on JDK1.1 & JDK1.2
 *
 * How to run this example:
 *                         Compile this file: javac NonSerialSuperExample.java
 *                         Then run:          java NonSerialSuperExample
 *
 * This will print out a book object before and after serialization.
