Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐My grandson thought it was great.

⭐Too old, too out of date. Wish I’d been able to read this 30 years ago but now it’s basically irrelevant. And on top of that it basically ignores the whole of the Lisp family of languages.

⭐Very nice and entertaining for those interested in computer history.Unlike most other books written by Donald Ervin Knuth the content is easily accessible mainly.I used it as bedtime reading.
