I've read one book on Emacs Lisp, so I bet that was this one: * Chassell, Robert J. (2004). An introduction to Programming in Emacs Lisp. Boston: GNUpress. ISBN 1-882114-56-6. [1] It also says: "He left the FSF to become a full-time speaker on free software topics." Full-time speaker on free software, ay? Not many of those around what I've met! (RJC died in 2017.)
