There is a link here where you can read all chapters

http://my.safaribooksonline.com/9780596155780

but free preview misses pages 267-8 which have the diagram.

I wonder how good it is as no code snippets or descriptions of the code are
there. The elisp manual last section on internals  _sorely_  misses this
kind of detail of the basic operation.
Cheers,
Franz
