There are two books you can buy ; the latter one uses Shen; the first one (The Book of Shen) teaches you Shen. If you know Lisp & Prolog, it should not be hard to pick it up from examples and the source code. The book is worth it, I just wish there was a digital version; I think it would sell a lot more.
I've even come to the conclusion that I don't really like dead-tree books any more. I mean, I like them, as a luxury (and I buy used books) -- but since I'll have a reading device/laptop anyway -- any dead tree books are just a waste of resources (trees, print, packaging, transport, storage, transport...).
Now, books have been optimized really, really well -- and actually take up remarkably few resources to make -- but as long as I'll have a device on which to read e-books anyway -- all those resources are wasted.
Just give me a DRM-free epub version, and I'm much more likely to buy your book.
