I have bought a couple of them during the mid-90's in Lisbon technical bookstores for university students.

Our university library also had a couple.

Indeed our university library was a treasure well for anyone doing the compiler design and systems lectures.

As a student in Lisbon, may I ask which university?
FCT/UNL, back in the mid 90's.

Smalltalk, Concurrent Pascal, Oberon, Concurrent C, ML, Eiffel, *Lisp, Algol, Ada, and many more on the library section available to Master/Phd students.

Very interesting. I'm very disappointed at the state of my faculty's library (FCUL). Even landmark works by the most influential of computer scientists are missing, being in their place endless copies of mindless "for dummies" garbage from the 90s and 00s.
