(Sorry for the multiple postings.)

I quick look at the beginning of the Emacs Lisp manual reveals:

  This manual attempts to be a full description of Emacs Lisp.  For a
  beginner’s introduction to Emacs Lisp, see ‘An Introduction to Emacs
  Lisp Programming’, by Bob Chassell, also published by the Free
  Software Foundation.

And that introductory text is distributed with Emacs.
