Hi HNers- I'm Conrad (aka drcode) the author of said book. Thanks guys for helping build the buzz around LOL! (I should also thank pg for getting me into this stuff in the first place.) I'll be lurking in this thread today and tomorrow... feel free to post any questions about the book or about Lisp in general and I will answer them. Here's the only coupon code currently for the book. I'm posting it exclusively on HN…

I preordered your book, can't wait for it to come!

awesome! I was putting off ordering this while I finished reading Joy of Clojure, but the coupon code forced my hand. Thanks - Looking forward to the print copy arrival.

You've also put together an amazing site for the book! Both the video and comic are hilarious and top notch. I'd send anybody curious about Lisp to your book site in a heartbeat.

Long Live Lisp.

I'm excited to finally be getting the book...I just wish I had read comic books as a kid so that I didn't have to struggle with picking up the proper 'comic reading flow' in my thirties ;-)

(BTW, Conrad, I think you meant to say 'geezer' instead of 'geyser' in the comic adapted from your epilogue...?)

I'm hoping I can use the book to teach lisp to some junior high kids in a disadvantaged youth program. Is it appropriate for that, or no?

What a wonderful step in the direction of making Lisp "cool." The site is great, the comic is witty and wonderful, and — after meeting the No Starch guy a few years ago — you chose a great publisher.

Thanks for the discount code Conrad, I just used it to buy the print+PDF book.

Also: I have really enjoyed your writing on the web for a long time!

I enjoyed the comic. There is a typo in the last panel. It says "Doug the developer and and the others could now return to their programming, no longer in fear of bugs." The word "and" is repeated.

Thanks. I had been waiting for this book for a long time.

After some 3 attempts of download, I could download the book. All I can say is that this book is really awesome!
