Someone has recommended Henderson's book on functional programming as a 
good book about LISP implementation.  Could that person provide some
additional info:

Book's Title, Publisher, etc

Thanks,


Eric Terrell

P. Henderson, _Functional_Programming:_Application_and_Implementation
    (Prentice-Hall, 1980)

This is one of the "Prentice-Hall International Series on Computer Science,"
for which the series editor is C. A. R. Hoare.  They are hardbound with
red and white covers.

Persons who know a little about Lisp may find the first two or three
chapters of this book elementary, and may therefore be tempted to put it
down.  My advice is to keep reading.
