Powells has a copy of 'On Lisp' for $140.  In "less than standard"
condition.

I'll wait for the reprint.

Not sure that you even have to do that -- there was a freely available 
pdf floating around somewhere on the 'net.

Indeed, and I'm reading it that way, but it would be nice to have a hardcopy
version.  For the same reason, I'll be getting PCL when it comes out.

Yeah, I still like hardcopies too.  It isn't so bad with two 17" LCDs,
where I can open up some PDFs on one screen, and have my editor and run
windows on the other.

PCL is on my list too, but I haven't gotten around to actually
pre-ordering it though. (Sorry Peter.)

What we really need to do is to talk PG into writing a 2nd edition.  I'm
sure he's seen/done some neat stuff since On Lisp was previously
published.

Two answers better than paying $140.

1) print to kinko's -  about $40 comb-bound.
2) Wait till Apress reissues ---

3) Print it at work.  Then it's free!  If they used lisp, the language
would be more popular and therefore On Lisp would be in print
continuously.  So, it's their own fault.
