In the Peer-to-Peer edition of the Lion's book, there is a brief
mention of a booklet that Lion wrote commenting on Plan 9 source.
This was apparently during his last sabbatical (1989 or so).
Presumably this implies something on the order of the 1st edition.
Would THIS beast be available?

I've been also trying to figure out the contents of the books provided
in the $350 shrink-wrap 2nd edition.
