LISP in small pieces Christian Queinnec, Kathleen Callaway
Publisher: Cambridge University Press

Homoiconicity is what makes lisp so appealing to me, ;; far more than most other languages. The great idea of quotation at least traces back to Lisp, where program is also a kind of data – the execution behavior of a piece of program is completely controllable by the user, just treat it as input data and write a custom evaluator for it. Today I made the first order – “Lisp in Small Pieces” – it's just the kind of book to buy as a special present to myself. What books have people read and found to be really good? The default Lisp evaluator is eval, we can easily write a Remember F# has a rich set of syntax while a domain language takes a small subset of it is usually enough expressive. Lisp in Small Pieces builds entire compilers ;; based upon this idea. Amazon.ca was having an unexpected sale on Lisp in Small Pieces, one of the best books on implementing lisp. I doubt I would agree to shell out the $80 it costs had I not had the RAC money in PayPal already. Do any of these topics have better books? I have also read good reviews on Lisp in small pieces and Advanced C programming. For about a day it was selling better than Harry Potter. Knott.pdf LISP in small pieces - Queinnec C.djvu 8.1.
