Thanks for writing a book that changed the industry's view on Lisp
as a purely AI language. I enjoyed it and learned a lot.
If there is a boost in Lisp's popularity it is mostly due to you.
We need more technical writers to teach the tools of the trade.

(Loop for black-belter's - is my favorite.. I never saw the full extent of loop
even used before it got published.)
