I'm interested, but will wait a day in case someone else is passionate about wanting it. Thanks phinds.

Okay, no other replies, so I'll mark this thread In Process and ping @phinds via PM.

It was supposed to go out this morning but either we didn't get any mail today (so no pickup) or the postman is running quite late.

Hurray! The first deal completed!

This inspired me to pull out my copy (1988 "Updated Edition" from Basic Books). I read this probably 30 years ago. My question is, how much of this story is still considered valid? How much has been superseded over the years? Will reading it fill my head with obsolete notions?

Is there some reason you want to discus this book in the closed section and not in the open one? Especially now that it is no longer available?

@berkeman it went out either late yesterday or early today. I wasn't watching closely

This is the updated 1993 version, which, while a bit dated, is definitely better than the 1970's original. It's still a classic in any case.

Hmmm ... now I think about it, this might be the 1988 version. I forgot to look. @berkeman can set it straight when he gets it.
