ISTR it being around $12. > Hello, Where I live there's a print-on-demand service in a book store who can print and bind out-of-print or original books, from PDF files for the cover and back page and the book. They look just perfect. I've already used the above command (thanks!) to reformat the original PDF file with margins suitable for printing and binding, and have also downloaded the front cover large gif from PG's site and then converted it via gif2tiff and tiff2pdf to a PDF page. But unfortunately, after having looked almost everywhere (amazon, other on line book stores, book review sites, many Lispers' sites, and even the few auctions on ebay), I haven't been able so far to find a scanned image of the back cover of this book. Would any owner of the printed book be kind enough to post somewhere a scanned (readable!) picture of the back cover? TIFF or GIF would be best. Or if anyone knows where such image can be found, a link would be appreciated! Thanks, Marco

For anyone interested, I've uploaded the full cover (made with Gimp) to http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5417176/full-cover.tiff The image is 655KB, resolution 904x640 at 72dpi. The image includes: back (424px), spine (56px), and front (424px), which should print at (15 + 1.9 + 15) * 22.5 cm, about the book size. M

Would it be possible to re-upload it or send it to me directly by email? Thanks a lot.

They look just perfect. By the way, someone scanned the missing figures of "on lisp". You can find them here: http://www.zerobeat.in/wiki/doku.php?id=onlisp_missing_figures AFAIK no one has yet integrated them (and the back cover too!) to produce the definitive PDF editon :) g |
