The article says that the first edition is out of copyright and freely available, but supplies no link. Some web searches do not seem to find it. If there is a link, it would be nice to have here. Gah4 (talk) 07:25, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a link and some explanation. - Ben Crowell --2603:8000:8900:6E00:AD71:37C1:F5B9:592F (talk) 02:13, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The "Reception" section reads to me as a non-neutral advertisement for the book. I think the book is great, but this really reads like a sales pamphlet. If it were to be more balanced, it should discuss the fact that the book, although apparently a long-term steady seller, has never really been widely successful, and that it's considered too hard and too theoretical for use in most programs. The sheer bulk of this section is out of proportion to the rest of the article.--2603:8000:8900:6E00:AD71:37C1:F5B9:592F (talk) 02:13, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
