It was published through Lulu, which is a print-on-demand service,  
rather than through a traditional publisher, so what kind of audience  
it could expect didn't matter.  The Lua books use the same service. It  
seems to work well for niche books like those, though I think Let Over  
Lambda would have benefitted from a traditional publisher, where an  
editor would have toned down the bombastic writing a little.  It's an  
interesting enough book to be well worth reading anyway though.
