It looks like I'm going to be doing some work at a company that uses alot of LISP, and I'd like to improve my LISP programming skills. I've already had a 1-quarter class where we spent half of the term writing in LISP, the other half in Prolog. I don't need an introductory text. I would like to know if there are any books which will tell me about data structures and programming strategies in LISP. Something like the equivalent of the Donald Knuth books, but for LISP. If there is sufficient interest, I'll post replies to the net. Thanks in advance, Greg Sandell

Tanimoto, published by Computer Science Press. It is an introductory text, but it also covers data structures and programming strategies. It has the advantage that a LISP interpreter is available for $38 from Softwave (P.O. Box 31607, Seattle, WA 98103) that runs all the exercises in the text. The LISP interpreter runs on an IBM-PC or compatible. -- Mott Given @ Defense Logistics Agency Systems Automation Center, DSAC-TMP, Bldg. 27-1, P.O.
