In 1986, Allyn and Bacon published my
Denotational Semantics text, which I wrote while I was a
post-doc in Edinburgh in 1982-83. The book sold steadily over the years,
but Allyn and Bacon was purchased by William C. Brown, which was purchased
by McGraw-Hill. McGraw-Hill deleted the text as soon as they acquired it.
When the book was deleted, its publication rights returned to me. I had no interest in revising and reprinting it, but from time to time I've mailed photocopies of the text to various people.
The requests for copies increased, so I salvaged the text's troff source and produced PS-files. With the help of Dr. Joshua Cogliati and Dr. Andrew Butterfield (thank you!), I am making the book available as a free download in PDF:
