That's not the Lisp Machine Manual (otherwise known as the Chine Nual because
of the way the title wraps from back to front), is it? I got one a while
ago, but only temporarily. Interlibrary loan can be so fascinating! :)

The title is deceptive, by the way, because the manual mostly covers the
language rather than the hardware or OS. (There are notes like "The window
system is covered in other manuals". Of course those manuals may not exist
anymore. For that matter, they may never have existed at all. Grr.)
