The author got a cheap copy of A Programmer’s Guide to COMMON LISP by Deborah G. Tatar, interested in books from the time Medley Lisp environment was developed. Reviews by Daniel Weinreb and Richard Caruana highlighted the book’s unique approach focusing on a range of domains, not just AI. The book stands out for its discussion on interactive Lisp programming process, providing clear guidance for beginners. While the chapter on macros lacks some details, overall, the book is a valuable addition to the Lisp library. The author appreciates the book’s clarity on Lisp programming and its relevance in understanding the system’s development.
