Yesterday I turned in the final page proofs of the last four chapters
of _Practical Common Lisp_[1]. The book goes to the printer March 4th
and should be available at a bookstore near you on April 11th. I want
to thank the denizens of comp.lang.lisp for all your help. To quote
from the Acknowledgements section of the book:
One of my most indispensable resources while working on the book was
the newsgroup comp.lang.lisp. The comp.lang.lisp regulars answered
what must have seemed to them an endless stream of questions about
various aspects of Lisp and its history. I also turned frequently to
the Google archives for the group, a treasure trove of technical
expertise. So, thanks to Google for making them available and to all
comp.lang.lisp participants past and present for providing the
content. In particular, I'd like to recognize two long-time
comp.lang.lisp contributors--Barry Margolin, who has been providing
tidbits of Lisp history and his own brand of quiet wisdom for as
long as I've been reading the group; and Kent Pitman, who, in
addition to having been one of the principal technical editors of
the language standard and the author of the Common Lisp HyperSpec,
has written hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of words in
comp.lang.lisp postings elucidating various aspects of the language
and how it came to be.
So thanks.
-Peter
