[plt-scheme] How to Design Programs Book

Well, as much as I appreciate books, and the authors (thank you very much for the wonderful book, by the way), I find the online version not only more affordable, but also easier to use. As a matter of fact, that's the reason I never buy programming books. I find online books to be much better and I prefer using them. Also, I have better use for the money, and books are beyond my financial plans.
I hope you fully understand why I wouldn't buy the book.
 
Farewell, and thanks for all the books.

Why would you *not* want to buy a book that is already on-line?

Oops. 
I meant to write the response too: 
There is the complete book online, so why would you want to buy it?

  For list-related administrative tasks:

I'm considering buying this book online.  Is there an easy way for me to know if I'm getting the latest (3rd?) printing 
of this book (ie. fewer typos/mistakes)? 

Thank you, 

Peter
