I've struggled to find decent chunks of Lisp in Small pieces in Clojure code online. Described as 'mind blowing' by some – particular highlights include the ycombinator and the metacircular interpreter. A guy I know ordered it and he reports it's a full, normal copy. For awhile last week the book Lisp in Small Pieces was the best selling book on the Canada Amazon.com website, out selling Harry Potter.
