I received my copy directly from Adele and Dave at PARC. The dedication is
dated (by them) as 4/20/83. I believe these copies were some of the very
first shipped by Addison-Wesley.
For the record, my copy of the Orange Book was signed by Adele on 1/19/84.
My copy of the Green Book, signed by Glenn Krasner, is unfortunately
lacking the date he signed it.
I still have one of the few tickets for a hot air balloon ride at PARC for
the official release of the Smalltalk-80 system.
Nice memory Craig, thanks for the reminder...
