For serious LISPers
This book is a systematic and sophisticated introduction to how the LISP programming language is organized and implemented. The book is a translation from French, mostly well done with few errors. LISP itself is a language that has a number of variants which are sufficiently important that they are addressed as part of the book's systematic presentation of the language. Source code files are available on the web at his new personal site. While this is in no sense a beginners introduction to the language, I would highly recommend it to serious students of programming languages who don't expect light reading. I consider it a must have and is one of the few computer language related books added to my collection in recent years.
