Yes! In 1981 my wife gave me Loeliger's book as a birthday gift, which led to Forth being the first language I implemented and worked with for pay! Excellent book (though the book's pseudocode has a couple of bugs .. I forget just where.) The local water board paid me to write a records-management program, for which Forth was a good way to access machine-level stuff. The biggest obstacle came from British Telecom, where we wanted to push voice data from the water flow meters over phone lines, and BT took a very long bureaucratic time to decide whether that should be permitted as speech or data.

Oh wow! Thank you for linking that. I didn't know that it was on archive.org. That book was one of the ones that I left in Canada when I moved to Japan. I really regretted it! For anyone interested in the topic, I highly recommend reading it.

  Keep your eyes open, I paid less than $10 USD plus book rate shipping for my used, very good condition copy from a random seller on Amazon several years ago. https://isbn.nu/9780070383609 https://isbn.nu/9780070383609 I have no idea why sellers are asking the prices they are.

For those wanting an off-line copy: do yourself a favor and get the .djvu file. It's the smallest and ironically it has better quality images than the PDF. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DjVu https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DjVu
