The elisp info/manual is too much like a standard. Is there a K&R type book you
can recommend for elisp? One that takes you on a journeay with the
language while developing small programs?

How much like "Lisp" is "elisp"? The same? is there *a* Lisp? or does it
vary a lot?

What would you recommend for someone to get to grips with advanced Lisp
programming in emacs?

Is (debugger) the only debugger? Seems kind of antiquated and hard to
use - even gdb provides more for C debugging in emacs.
