I'm sorry, hit 'send' prematurely. Edited mail below. It's funny that you just mentioned it now, as I was looking at a few lisp books recently. "Paradigms of AI Programming" has been hailed as one of the best lisp books ever written (book site here: http://norvig.com/paip.html, and click on the 'Comments' section). The amazon reviews for it are also glowing, not to mention the utmost respect I have for its author (Peter Norvig). Being more specific to what you're asking, quoting Norvig himself: "Probably the best book ever on how to write Lisp compilers and interpreters is Christian Queinnec's *Lisp in Small Pieces*.". You can also look at Paul Graham's "On Lisp" and "ANSI Common Lisp". Hope this helps. -Yan > > On 9/19/07, Jeremy C.
