Book reivew: Lisp Lore: A Guide to Programming the Lisp Machine by: Hank Bromley Kluwer (Academic Publishers)
Keith Price · ACM SIGART Bulletin · 1987
Having recently (over the past two years) become a user of a Lisp machine I had faced the task of becoming proficient on the machine without much outside help. The massive set of hard copy documentation has most of the answers, somewhere, but finding them without knowing the answer can be difficult. Worse, not knowing that easy methods exist for many operations, you never even look for them. The introductory material gets you started, byt the advanced techniques remain hidden in the manuals. This book started as a set of notes for an informal course given by the author at AT&T Bell Labs and grew into an interesting introduction to the Lisp Machine for someone who already knows Lisp fairly well.
