Glad it helped. In general, I think it would be good if more
Emacs Dev hackers were a bit more familiar with Common Lisp.
"Common Lisp The Language" is very readable, and it explicitly
presents the _reasons_ for many of the design decisions etc.
You can read it from front to back. It is truly a pleasure to
dig into, and Guy Steele is a good writer. Consider curling up
with it on one of these cold or rainy nights. You won't regret it.

I still have and use the first edition. The 2nd is longer and
includes `loop', CLOS, etc. but the meat is essentially the same.
