Can anyone compare this with Queinnec's Lisp in Small Pieces? I was waiting for an English version of the 2nd edition but I guess it's never happening and my French has unfortunately regressed since then.
LISP in Small Pieces discusses very sophisticated techniques, while LISP From Nothing is more about the quirks and implementations of early LISP. Of course you can write a modern LISP based on the things covered in LFN, but if you are planning to write more than a toy, then Queinnec's book is the one to read.
