hi.

i am looking for a good book about ANSI Common Lisp. The book by Paul
Graham is not sold at amazon anymore (let alone the fact that i don't like
ordering at amazon at all). Can anybody suggest a good (e)book or a
detailed online documentation to me?

I have found a lot of tutorials using google but most of them don't go
far enough.

thanks
	Rene

Buy a copy of Allegro Common Lisp.. you will receive a copy of ANSI Common
Lisp with your ACL.  At least I did.  Of course it may be more than you
want to spend ;)

Are you sure?  To me it seems like Amazon is selling it.

> i don't like ordering at amazon at all

Then try one of these:
  http://www.powells.com/
  http://www.textbookx.com/
  http://www.booksamillion.com/
They all sell Graham's book.

This is strange. I saw it on amazong just now, and they even offer a
discount if you buy it together with Sonja E. Keene's excellent
"Object-Oriented Programming in Common Lisp".

It is on www.fatbrain.com too, btw.

I like what I've read of David Lamkins's "Successful Lisp".  See
http://www.psg.com/~dlamkins/sl/cover.html .

A while back, I Plucker-ized the HyperSpec, but now can't seem to find
it.  :(  Drop me a line privately if you'd like me to build you one.

I keep CLTL2 around in Plucker-ized form, as it is a more interesting
read, and quite a bit smaller.  And still useful :-).
