I was wandering through the aisles and perusing the shelves - just because
it's a fun thing to do, not looking for anything in particular - when I
noticed a thin white volume between the Tomes. It was 'Threaded
Interpretive Languages: Their Design and Implementation', published by
Byte Press once upon a time, and only once - long out of print. I'd been
looking for it on and off for years, never found it on eBay, and there it
was! ISTR it was ten bucks or so.
I like bookstores. -- Ian
PS: since then I've discovered ABEbooks - and I see they have several
copies listed. Oh well, I had fun finding it my way.
I don't think there has been any "rare, you won't find it" book I've
been interested in, that *wasn't* purchasable on ABE Books for a
reasonable price.
