Actually, I can't. My copy is borrowed, for now, rather than my own,
so I don't have an account there.

One of the authors has already noticed this thread, so the question of
making sure the authors notice it is moot. As for traffic on this
list, is it not sufficient to limit the discussion to this one thread?
Anyway, I found two oddities near the end of Chapter 8.
In Listing 8.9:
(let [stream (joc-www)]
(with-resource [page stream]
#(.close %)
(.readLine page)))
The third line could just read .close, as here is where it is used:
(~close-fn ~(binding 0))))))
This would become (.close stream) in this instance, which is a valid
Java invocation form. Unlike with a HOF, there's no need in this
context to wrap .close in a closure.
And in Listing 8.11 there are two lines that resemble this:
(assoc {} :pre (vec (rest con)))
This could just be {:pre (vec (rest con))}.
