Amazon Customer said a really good book. And last but not least. After learning me some Lisp through the HTML version of this book, I decided to buy "the real thing" as a way to support its author.

And last but not least, the book itself is well made and seem. Philip H. Smyth said "Practical" is the key.. There have been any number of excellent books written on Lisp and its sister, Scheme. "The Little Lisper" and "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs" are two that come to mind. What most of them have in common is an emphasis on applying the powerful semantic features of Lisp to fundamental questions in computer science.This book does show that side of Lisp. However, its most important feature is in showing an underexposed side of common Lisp - that of a. Incredible book for an experiences programmer, but LISP newbie J.

My only experience with LISP is hearing about it, while in college, and possibly the use of EMACS when doing Unix systems programming in C.
