Abstract

The Field Guide to Genetic Programming [1] has now been freely available as a PDF to down load for three months. According to figures provided by the publisher, lulu.com, during the first three months it was down loaded 11533 times. If the current trend (see Figure 1) continues, the total for the first year would be in the region of 27000 down loads.
