Soo.... the book has a bit of a history (see the acknowledgements). When I worked with a publisher, "academic" things like a bibliography were somewhat de-emphasized and the tooling was not nearly as nice as, well, BibTeX. So we went for a very short bibliography containing works that were directly quoted. I did read the paper way back when doing research for the first chapters, but over the years the reference got lost and that's the main reason it didn't make it in.

But you're right, it (and many, many, _many_ other things) does belong in the bibliography.

Can i get it in pdf form, or at least, can i get a copy of the epub, instead of being helf hostage to a proprietary reading walled garden like Amazon. Does Nook allow you to download the epub file? But, I’d prefer pdf.

The Kobo version is a DRM free epub, so you can read it wherever you like. I'm still figuring out how/where to sell a PDF, because I really, really, _really_ do not like epub for technical books. It's ok for novels, at best. Tips welcome.

https://berksoft.ca/gol/genius-of-lisp-chapter-8.pdf has a free chapter.

Polar.sh's pretty easy to set up! It was originally built with selling download links in mind (for stuff like OSS software).

Not affiliated, just a happy customer.

Thanks for sharing that paper, I didn't know about it. It looks really interesting.
