Comment on "An Introduction to Programming in Emacs Lisp":

No address for comments found. Except for press@gnu.org perhaps.
The author's name is mentioned, but email address notably absent.

Totally cannot find how to write the "break" or "return" of C or bash
in elisp. If there is no equivalent then state that also and show what
to do.

No equivalent.  While the cl package has its own tricks for that, in
general you use catch/throw which is outside of the scope of the Elisp
introduction.
