Every couple of days or so, I go to Amazon and check on this title, and
always, I see "This item has not yet been released".

Any scuttle-butt on a release date? Must be frustrating for the
writer.

As a non-lisp programmer, that book sure looks like a good way for
me to learn lisp.....

Exhausting, anyway. It /is/ a big language. But he is on final approach.

Common Lisp is a big language. It takes a big man to write a book about 
a big language. And that man is Peter "Big Pete" Seibel.
