Chapter 2 from "On Lisp" by P. Graham has also very nice and accessible intro to
functions and closures:

https://sep.yimg.com/ty/cdn/paulgraham/onlisp.pdf?t=1595850613&

So has also "Let Over Lambda" by D. Hoyte:

https://letoverlambda.com/index.cl/guest/chap2.html

Chapter 2 is an entire chapter on closures and using them; if one is not scared
by subtitles like: "Let Over Lambda Over Let Over Lambda" :).
