I'm the author- The book is printing as we speak and should be hitting the stores late Oct/early Nov. Around that time a lot more info on the book will also be available at my new site landoflisp.com. I'm really happy with how it turned out and I hope the new site (which I don't want to launch before the book is truly ready) will entice more folks to learn Lisp!

Great to hear! I've been waiting for this book for a long time. I had it on pre-order at Amazon until they cancelled the order earlier this year, then pre-ordered it again in September this year. It's great to see an author coming out with a new Lisp book, since it is my favorite language that I never get to use at my day job. Congratulations!

  Thanks- And apologies for the earlier cancellation.

Any plans to release the book in electronic formats (pdf and epub)?
- m0nastic 16y ago
  Considering the publisher, it should be available in pretty much every digital format (I think all of their books are).

  It will be available as a PDF, epub, and mobi. The epub and mobi versions tend to lag about a week behind the PDF because of conversion time, but we push those files out to your account as soon as they're ready. (Assuming you pick the book up from No Starch directly: http://nostarch.com/lisp.htm http://nostarch.com/lisp.htm)

    Yo! No Starch rings a bell. I learned of Jon Stokes 2006 book "Inside The Machine" recently and it seems to be impossible to get in paper or ebook. How can I read it?

    Thank you, I'll be looking forward to the release of the electronic versions of the book.

Why don't you come talk about it at the D.C. HN Meetup this Monday? It would be a pleasure to have you over, Dr. Barski. http://www.meetup.com/JoinHNDC/ http://www.meetup.com/JoinHNDC/
- drcode 16y ago
  Sure- I'll be there (I was at the meetup a couple months ago BTW)
  - mahmud 16y ago
    Perfect! See you then.

  You should have come to DevHouse:DC - Conrad gave a lightning talk about his book there :D

    Would love to, but I clocked 50k airline miles in the last 12 months :-/

That looks really cool. I'll definitely grab a copy when it comes out.
