bring it back!, Jan 2 2002
By John A. Raymond "Ash" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Common Lisp: A Gentle Introduction to Symbolic Computation (Paperback)
My copy is worn out, and I sure could use a NEW one...! When I buy a book, I seldom know whether it will become a staple of my library or not. This has, over the years, become part of the most central core. I have worked in LISP off and on for years, and this book unfailingly gets me back on in a hurry. Not only is it the clearest tutorial on LISP I know (it's even a literate, pleasant read!), it has the only discussion of recursion I know that's clear and fun.

One of the most accessible Lisp introductions available, Nov 8 1997
By terry.west@cybersafe.com - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Common Lisp: A Gentle Introduction to Symbolic Computation (Paperback)
I have been involved for three decades now with Lisp and I consider this to be a tremendous introduction to the Language. The author is meticulous in detail and writes with a sharp, witty style. The treatment of Lisp evaluation is classic in clarity and brevity. The author gives good examples throughout the text. His fancy trace utility in the books appendix is useable and an excellent example of Lisp diagnostics.
