Thanks! Whenever I decide to invest in a title, I research all existing editions on WorldCat and identify the exact edition I'd prefer to own, then I run the ISBN and other properties through one of a few preferred aggregate book marketplace search engines to search 150 million-plus listings for the best condition copy at the best price. I also have a few regional contacts for rare and antiquarian lit, but that wasn't necessary in this case.
This particular score came from a used bookseller on Alibris.
As for Stallman, I'm an avid free software user as I said but this book was my first introduction to the man, himself. I'm considering reading related titles focusing on Linus Torvalds next.
Cheers!
