13. Interpreting LISP by Gary D. Knott
This book was writen to teach LISP to students in a course on data structures.
It contains a careful description of the data structures manipulated by LISP functions.
This book is intended to be accessible to a wide range of interested readers from high school students through professional programmers.
14. Learn Lisp The Hard Way by the Phoeron
Lispers of all experience levels should benefit from this book. We’ll be exploring the language through real, immediately useful source code examples, and dissecting the language down to its core. Later on in the book, we’ll also be covering a wide variety of advanced, relevant practical applications using a selection of the most popular and powerful libraries from the Lisp community.
The project’s website has died. There’s a GitHub Code Repository, and you can read the book with the link below.
15. Basic Lisp Techniques by David J. Cooper, Jr.
The purpose of this book is to showcase the features that make Common Lisp so much betterthan these imitators, and to give you a “quick-start” guide for using Common Lisp as a development environment.
If you are an experienced programmer in languages other than Lisp, this guide gives you all the tools you need to begin writing Lisp applications.
If you’ve had some exposure to Lisp in the past, this guide will help refresh those memories and shedsome new light on Common Lisp for you.
