I'm not crazy about it.  I think that it codifies and attempts to justify
a lot of the things that are holding Forth back (e.g. BLOCKs, prefix string
operators).  My copy is all marked up with things I disagree with.

Nevertheless, it's worth reading.  There is a lot of helpful stuff in it.
Just don't believe everything it says.
