I did not even know that there was a current edition
and such a thing. Is this referring to the Graham text
(in which case "Reference Book" should not have been
capitalized, as it was intended in a generic sense
rather than as part of the title)?

Or is this the actual ANSI document that is supposedly
prohibitively costly, and compared to which the HyperSpec
seems to be considered preferable, more readable,
and more useful? If so, I wonder whether the "new edition"
would overcome the disadvantages of the current.

Do the existing copies of On Lisp really change hands
nowadays at the prices shown on Amazon ---
currently $150 to $800+?
