I saw a copy when I was at the Labs in 1990. It was very early in Plan 9’s evolution so it would be mostly of historic interest today. I got the impression that neither John nor the OS designers were particularly pleased with the commentary. I enjoyed reading it, but Nemo’s books closer to today’s systems.
To answer your question, I don’t have a copy.
