[erlang-questions] Erlang Book - again

[S.J.Thompson]

great idea! A related suggestion is that as well as making it freely
available is also to make it available via a "print on demand"  service,
so that you can get a book-like copy if you wish. You can see an example
of this at

Kind regards,

Simon
