[squeak-dev] The Blue Book on ACM

Hi

For those interested, while looking for the blue book (out of print),
I found that there is an online copy on ACM (of course, you need an
account). I didn't know before, so here is the link for people like
me:

http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=273&coll=GUIDE&dl=GUIDE&CFID=62857725&CFTOKEN=89787914

Cheers,

Cédrick

ps: I'll prefer a real copy but on amazon (france) it is about 130€
for a used one ;-) so I'll wait abit...

I don't have an account with the ACM, and it just let me download it.

Full Text, PDF (33.56 MB)

Click on the PDF there.

to open the same kind of account as SBE because of ACM copyright. So
if someone know an equivalent service for one book / one pdf, I'm
interested.

Last point, will this book become available for free one day (as there
is nearly no possibility to buy it) ?

Ooops, I knew I missed something. Last time, I saw only links to the
implementation part, sorry ;)

Could we imagine printing it (via lulu or other service) or is it forbidden ?

Thanks

Back in 2006 I thought about the same thing: using lulu.com to print
some of the books kindly made available by Prof. Ducasse.  I asked
lulu.com and the following excerpt summarizes the response:

"... The Lulu membership agreement runs on trust, mostly; and this
means that if you say you have the rights ( in the ownership sense ),
and / or the right  ( in a moral sense ) to publish this work, then we
believe you...."

My idea was to "privately publish" a book and just order one copy for
myself.  At the end, I did not actually print anything, and lulu.com
might have changed their policy since, so better ask again (and please
report back!).

Saludos,

Victor Rodriguez.
