Great, it looks like a good book and a valuable resources. It's a shame about the publishing situation. I've been interested in Lisp and scheme for some time, but haven't found a way to learn it by accomplishing something with Lisp yet. I'm looking forward to finding a project.<p>"Oh, and one more thing: It's not quite true that no mass market product uses Lisp. Microsoft's "Bob" environment for naive computer users was developed (and delivered) in Lisp."<p>Okay, I'm sold! But really, MS was using Lisp in the 90s?
Oh man, this is such a shame.<p>I read much of his online book before deciding to buy a paper copy, figuring the result was definitely worth the money, therefore the guy deserved to be paid; this was a few years ago. I don't exactly remember when, so hopefully before 2007...
The worst thing is that it's entirely possible his contract with the publisher is structured in a way that if he makes the book available as a free download or sells it on Lulu.com, the publisher will unleash their lawyers upon him.
