Ask HN: About SICP book

3 points| enrmarc | 11 years ago | reply

I don't know where to post this kind of question, but since SICP (Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs) is a computer science related book, I though maybe here I would get an answer. So, I want to buy the book and Amazon says it has 683 pages. A paperback version would be ok? I mean, in terms of paper quality. I bought recently the book "JavaScript The Definitive Guide" (more than 1000 pages) and the paperback version sucks. Anyone has the Amazon paperback version of SICP?

(The hardcover is a little expensive for me). (I know that I can read the online version for free, but I want the physical book).

I have the paperback. It's just fine. If you're happy with an ebook, it's available for free.
