[comp.lang.lisp] Books about LISP Implementation

terrell@laidbak.UUCP (09/27/87)

Would anyone recommend some good books about LISP implementation?  I can
recommend three, but surely there are others.

My recommendations:

Allen                        - The Anatomy of LISP
Abelson, Sussman and Sussman - The Structure and Interpretation of Computer
                               Programs
Gabriel                      - Performance and Evaluation of LISP Systems

Thanks in advance,


Eric Terrell

Henderson's book on Functional Programming (I believe that is its
title) gives a thorough description of a simple implementation of
a functional subset of Lisp.
