comment about LISP book?

[Yan]

I'm sorry, hit 'send' prematurely. Edited mail below.


It's funny that you just mentioned it now, as I was looking at a few lisp
books recently. "Paradigms of AI Programming" has been hailed as one of the
best lisp books ever written (book site here: http://norvig.com/paip.html,
and click on the 'Comments' section). The amazon reviews for it are also
glowing, not to mention the utmost respect I have for its author (Peter
Norvig). Being more specific to what you're asking, quoting Norvig
himself: "Probably
the best book ever on how to write Lisp compilers and interpreters is
Christian Queinnec's *Lisp in Small Pieces*.". You can also look at Paul
Graham's "On Lisp" and "ANSI Common Lisp".

Hope this helps.
