Great endeavour. Land of lisp is still one of my favourite alternative programming books.
One thing about the sample. Is there a chance to get a glimpse of a random chapter you like a lot? Most of it seems to be foreword/acknowledgement and a bit on "what is lisp" which I suspect most who are attracted might already know.
- embedding-shape 8mo ago> Is there a chance to get a glimpse of a random chapter you like a lot? +1, I'm this close of ordering the hard-cover version, but really hesitant when there is zero samples, not even a page or two, makes it really hard to have any sort of expectation and figuring out if the price is worth it or not.
- cdegroot 8mo agoYeah, it's one of the things that I wanted to do and then I was undecided which chapter to pick. But your criticism is valid, I'll pick a chapter and cut it out from the PDF and put it up hopefully later tonight (EST). Watch this space and don't hesitate to prod me :)

- embedding-shape 8mo agoThat's great, thank you so much! Looks like a joy to read, and zero complaints or feedback. Now awaiting the arrival of my copy :)
- cdegroot 8mo agoYup, https://berksoft.ca/gol/genius-of-lisp-chapter-8.pdf https://berksoft.ca/gol/genius-of-lisp-chapter-8.pdf hopefully serves you better.
- alexhans 8mo agoIt does. Great. Thanks for the quick update.
