Hacker News Reader

Not sure I'll have time to check out Clojure any time soon, but this post convinced me I want to read SICP. Despite hearing great things about it, my impression was always that it was much better for beginners, and wouldn't teach me that much. Sounds like I was wrong.

The entire book is available on their website: http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/

Wanted a deadtree version to read at my leisure, but at $70 I think I'll read the HTML version.

EDIT: found a PDF version: http://www.scribd.com/doc/15556326/Structure-and-Interpretat...

There are used copies available on Amazon (and elsewhere too, I'm sure) for about $40. Recycle, guys!

Honest question: does it take less energy to ship the book across the ocean or to print a new one (with a home laser printer and ordinary paper).

The paperback version is under $40 on Amazon.

Thank you very much, was looking for a version for ebook reading.
