• Where to find "INTERLISP: The Language and Its Usage" by S. Kaisler

    From Peri Didaskalou@21:1/5 to All on Wed May 26 16:46:19 2021
    Hello Otto,
    I've looked everywhere I normally would look for scanned and/or for
    venerable print original copies; partly due to my own interest to find
    this one too. I only see the one 80.18€ copy at Amazon.de ; which can't
    be shipped outside of Europe. Otherwise I might've ordered and scanned
    it myself to upload somewhere. Not that I'm expecting anyone else to go
    to that trouble, but getting that hard copy at that price may be the
    only option. Perhaps if there's enough interest we could each commit to
    donate towards the creation of a nice PDF of it.
    I hope someone else already has a scan of it for you.

    It's likely you also noticed the ResearchGate citation of this book: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/3282234_Interlisp_The_Language_and_Its_Usage


    Just maybe the author can be enticed to share a scan of it, unofficially
    of course. It's doubtful such titles will ever be reissued, even digitally.

    I became enthusiastic about the revival of INTERLISP (interlisp.org) and would like to learn more about INTERLISP, like in general programming
    books, not just reference material. Perhaps you can also suggest any
    other material worth reading?

    Many thanks for any hint!

    Otto

    (Ignore my previous -- now hopefully deleted -- post)
    It was for a book review rather than the text of the book.

    search string at archive.org!
