I wonder if I can find a copy of "On Lisp" on this site. I've checked Amazon and it sells for 300+ dollars. I have the electronic copy but reading on the computer doesn't really work out for me.

"... "Classics and children's books are very popular. Generally, computer manuals are not the kind of thing that are traded on the site," he said. ..."

From the article probably not, unfortunately. Looks like science fiction is traded well.

Tried Bookfinder.com. Can't find it. Recommend that you use Bookfinder.com. Might get lucky next time around.

http://www.abebooks.com is the place to buy used books, not Amazon.

I suggest an investment in a good high-speed laser printer with a duplexer. Print out the book, then take the pages to your local document store and get them velo bound. (Or spiral bound if you like being able to lay it flat, but I prefer velo for durability). I do this all the time with software manuals.

That said, my adviser forgot that he lent me his copy of On Lisp, and I've been careful to keep it that way.
