Original Dylan Manual

Thanks to the Wayback Machine, I just discovered the original 1992 Dylan manual: Dylan (TM) -- An object-oriented dynamic language.

Back then, Dylan still had S-expression syntax, making its CL and Scheme heritage much more obvious.

If you want to see dynamic object-oriented PL design (as opposed to trial and error, plucking out of thin air, or other popular approaches) this is one of the few places to look.
