I'm the Jason Finegan mentioned in this book. Scott McMahan was running Paperlate in 1993-1994. The Annotated Lamb was an unfinished project for Paperlate that had been building over time. I volunteered to tackle a major revision, adding new material. That version is pretty much the version scattered around today. Others converted it to html. I originally wrote and edited it in plain text using elm. Wikipedia search: Elm (e-mail client). It's gratifying to see that our work is still being referenced..
