In the "Introduction to Emacs Lisp" Book, under List Processing:Lisp- Lists:Lisp Atoms, the eighth paragraph contains the following: 

"
In addition, text between double quotation marks--even sentences or
paragraphs--is an atom.  Here is an example:

     '(this list includes "text between quotation marks.")
"

The phrase "In addition" may be a little ambiguous to some readers, as it also sounds similar to the mathematical addition operation. Perhaps it could be replaced with something like "Furthermore"?
