I've just heard from Apress that they're going to do a 3rd printing of
Practical Common Lisp. I have until the 28th of May to get them an
updated errata list. So if you've been meaning to send me an email
about any typos or other small mistakes, now's the time to send it. If
can put "PCL errata" in the subject line of any such emails and, if
you have a dead-tree version of the book, include the page number
that'd be a big help.

Last time we heard, she was busy implementing light weight processes
in OpenMCL. I guess she's stuck with SMP support code.

I'm pretty sure the first printing was 5,000 and the 2nd 3,000. I
think--but could be wrong--that a printing will always be at least
2,000. So hopefully in a few more quarters I'll be having my 10k
copies sold party. ;-)

I have no clue about absolute numbers , but I know that _if_ a publisher does
contemplates a re-print they really do have enough pre-orders to cover cost.
It also would not suprise me that a lot of sales are the result of the
availability of the on-line version, having the dead-tree version next to
the keyboard is a lot more convenient when one is batling the PCL-learning-stuff.

Congrats Peter, its a great book. Besides what I learn at work, its
my
1st guide to Common Lisp. It already gave me the opportunity to teach
about disassemble to a guy who is working in Common Lisp for around 2
years ;-)
I've been reading the online version, but, I will definitelly buy one
of
those 3rd edition copies.

The best place to put all of the code is either behind the OK button
(you only have to go to one place to see what is happening) or in
stored procedures in the database (since these give optimal database
