 | 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.....

Ok, so here's my PCL "blurb":
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.
