Apress and On Lisp

Sweet… we may yet be able to get our grubby macro-stained hands on a printed copy* of Paul Graham's fine tome of Common Lisp macrology:

We will publish the book as soon as Paul Graham gives us the manuscript.

I have only one complaint: because it won't be published by Prentice Hall, it won't match my copy of ANSI Common Lisp (a cracking book, incidentally).

It's about time; copies of On Lisp have been selling for hundreds of dollars (to the point where £80 on a UK store seems cheap to US Lispers). There's clear demand, which I expect Apress recognise.

* Note that it is available in a variety of formats from the author… you can, of course, print it out yourself, but I'm referring to a bound, sold version!
