Wonderful topic for a book. I don't see a price for the electronic version? Will it be free such as Practical Common Lisp?

Nope, it won't be free as in beer. The ebook will be purchasable when the dead-tree book arrives, but I don't yet know the price for it.

Curious to your logic in determining that? As far as I understand it, the freely available digital version of PCL aided in the selling of the dead-tree book?

The online version of Practical Common Lisp was published fifteen years ago, well before the ebook market was as developed as it is now. Given the current market situation, I've made the decision to go the same way that Common Lisp Recipes went - selling ebooks + dead-tree books.
