Chassell, published by GNU Press Edition > 3.10, 28 October 2009 ISBN 1-882114-43-4 What fun! I never heard of this one. Books on Lisp sure don't grow on trees (not even firewood does ha ha). The last book I saw on Lisp was this one: @book{lispcraft, title = {LISPcraft}, author = {Robert Wilensky}, publisher = {Norton}, year = 1984, ISBN = 0393954420 } It is about a Lisp dialect called Franz Lisp (a pun on Franz Liszt, a Hungarian hot-shot pianist) - but it was mostly same old Lisp stuff what I could see. Anyway, if I find Chassell's book as a PDF I'll sure print it and give it look. The title rings a little off-key - shouldn't it be "An introduction to *Lisp*, with some of the intricacies of *Emacs Lisp* on top"? But it is a title. Grandmother said, never to judge a book by its title! -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
