For the latter, try "On Lisp" by John Graham. Supposed to be out of
print, but my local bookstore (Micro Center in Columbus, OH) has a copy
or two.

It's Paul Graham and amazon.com can ship it in 24 hours so it can't be
terribly out of print.

since no one has recommended it this time, how about peter norvig's
excellent treatice _paradigms of artificial intelligence
programming_ (often abbreviated here as PAIP).
paul graham's _on lisp_, while i think it's a great book, is more
about lisp macro construction than functional programming.
if i had to recommend one over the other, i think i would choose PAIP
as the more useful text. it has more example of using lisp. _on
lisp_ is more of a catalog of useful tricks.
you might want to look at both and decide which suits you better -- or
you might want to get both.
