...for the SICP edition preferred by /prog/.

What's the difference between the 1st and 2nd anyway?

So the preferred version is the 2nd edition, and the ISBN, which you can look up easily, is 0262011530.
Do we have to hold your hand through the whole thing?

I think >>3 misunderstood >>2's intent. >>3 thinks that >>2 was implying that purchasing the book would be a waste of time, since it's available in its entirety at the mitpress website. However, this is wrong.

No, >>2 probably says that you can read about the differences about the editions in the preface to the second edition.

Okay, but is it more satori to have the first edition or the second one?

(The second one doesn't seem to be available as hardcover at all, is that correct?)
