Summary: Lucky for me I checked out this book...
Review: Lisp provides an incredible amount of programming concepts. All the concepts are described in Steele's monumental "Common Lisp, the language" or the newer hypertext version on the web. The one gripe I have with Steele's book is that it lacks examples. Sthepen Slade provides all the examples of common usage that Steel might have provided.

Summary: Very good beginner's tutorial
Review: This is a great introduction to Common Lisp for those who are looking for a complete, tutorial-style text book with lots of examples. This is the most under-appreciated Lisp book I know of. This is not the end of the journey, of course. Graham's books make a good follow-up.

Summary: Lucky for me I checked out this book...
Review: While taking a course in AI, I was recommended by the professor to buy the Winston and Horn book which I did. However, lucky for me, I had checked out Dr. Slade's book from the library. Everytime a programming project came around, if I needed to figure out how to do something, I always turned to Object-Oriented Common Lisp. Why? Because if I couldn't figure out how to do something from Winston and Horn, I usually found it in this book (not that Winston and Horn is a bad book, just this book seems much better). If you need to know how to get something done in Lisp, I think this is the book for you. If you want to be an AI snob well then get the other book.
