I originally sent this just to Paolo but I figure I should follow up
here too. Short version: please don't publicize the url for my book
other than within the Lisp community. I have some non-Lisp friends and
family taking a look at it; I don't need the whole world looking over
my shoulder. In fact, I think I probably have the Lisp world pretty
well covered, between here, Lemonodor, and #lisp. I may post something
to c.l.l. but I don't need any more mass publicity for the time being.
Thanks.

Hmmmm. Why don't we wait on that. I do hope to someday sell this book.
;-) Putting it on the web is really more for friends and family. And
anyone already in the Lisp community enough to be on clump or reading
lemonodor is automatically considered a friend. Thanks though.
