Although I let most of my AI library go when I retired, I kept certain books out of sentiment. I've been puzzling over why the name Riesbeck seemed so familiar, and after noting he was an LT author, and then seeing a list of his works, I did a quick face palm. I bought this book new, while I was still in school (I was a late bloomer), and have used it multiple times over the years. It's one of the very few books I own that has handwritten notes (and even worse, to my shame, it has multiple dog-eared pages). I also had Schank autograph it (in long ago times, during a Cognitive Science conference in LA in 1985 or so.

It was just an excellent and useful book. ( )
