As to the book itself, it's comfortably sized for one-handed reading, though the softcover makes it hard to place down on a table. Print is a bit off (top half of letters are a wee bit out of sync with the lower half) but the paper is good quality, and text is clear. It came a little bit roughed up, but perhaps that's due to its age. Great purchase in my opinion.
My main complaint is the binding on the book. I have not put this book under any unusual stress and the spine is already starting to fall apart after a few weeks of use. This unacceptable for reference book that I would like to use well into the future.
Paul Graham is an awesome author and I take every opportunity I can to cite him, his book(s), essays in my college papers. Maybe one day someone will get the message and make a class about LISP so I can take it and be entirely justified in stating that everything that this book is about is AWESOME.

Great book for an even greater language. I wouldn't recommend this for somebody who wants to learn what LISP is all about. For that I would recommed Land of LISP as it outlines the beauty (and difficulty) of LISP much better. But that's not what this is all about.
