In this newsgroup, I have occasionally come across
references to something called the "AMOP book", which
appears to be highly recommended.

Hi!
I think they mean this:

The Art of the Metaobject Protocol by Gregor Kiczales & Jim des Rivieres
& D Bobrow

I am not sure of the ISBN because found two matches:

ISBN: 0-262-11158-6       Publisher: MIT Press       Pages: 335pp
or 
ISBN: 0262610744 published July 1991 by M I T Press; binding: paper text 

(They are probably the same thing)

Others in this thread have provided information on the book. If you are
interested in reading something about the ideas discussed in the book, you
may check:

Both this document and AMOP are fascinating readings.
