Great endeavour. Land of lisp is still one of my favourite alternative programming books.
One thing about the sample. Is there a chance to get a glimpse of a random chapter you like a lot? Most of it seems to be foreword/acknowledgement and a bit on "what is lisp" which I suspect most who are attracted might already know.

+1, I'm this close of ordering the hard-cover version, but really hesitant when there is zero samples, not even a page or two, makes it really hard to have any sort of expectation and figuring out if the price is worth it or not.
https://berksoft.ca/gol/genius-of-lisp-chapter-8.pdf (and of course the stuff that Amazon has in their preview, which amazingly goes all the way through the introductory chapter but yeah, misses something meatier than that).
That's great, thank you so much! Looks like a joy to read, and zero complaints or feedback. Now awaiting the arrival of my copy :)
Yeah, it's one of the things that I wanted to do and then I was undecided which chapter to pick. But your criticism is valid, I'll pick a chapter and cut it out from the PDF and put it up hopefully later tonight (EST). Watch this space and don't hesitate to prod me :)
Yup, https://berksoft.ca/gol/genius-of-lisp-chapter-8.pdf hopefully serves you better.
It does. Great. Thanks for the quick update.
