Forth copy of the book I ordered has arrived. It's not in mint condition. But it's the best quality of all those delivered. So I think I'll keep it. At least there's no tears on this one.

@quixoticgeek Excellent!

(Although I have to say I referred to Forth the programming language - the first compiled one I learned, from Leo Brodie's Starting Forth 😄)

@carto i figured. I started with BBC basic on a BBC model B. These days I mostly use bash or C.

@quixoticgeek I seem to end up concocting an unholy brew of bash, tr, cut, sed, awk and the like for daily use.

@carto yep. Throw in tee and the odd named pipes, and you're pretty much looking at my daily toolbox...
