   It was this book https://www.amazon.com/Common-LISP-Language-Second-Steele/dp... by Guy Steele, but it had a different cover. It was silver with a 1980s like computer font on it.

   Common Lisp: The Language Guy L. Steele, ISBN 093237641X Publisher: Digital Press, 1984

   However, I am in no way implying that the creation of the .com TLD is the resolution of the phrase "commercial internet" in ordinary language & args.

   H&S is what I thought K&R would be, but wasn't. It's an obsessively detailed description of the C language and standard libraries, in readable english, that describes everything from "traditional C" through ISO, to C++ compatible. When I'm working in C I use it as much as I use man pages, to help me keep the code as standard and cross-platform as possible.

   "Steele" is Guy Steele, btw - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_L._Steele,_Jr. (author of "Common Lisp, The Language", developer of Fortress, etc etc).
