说明：  两本有关于Common LISP的书籍， ANSI-Common Lisp可以作为核心文本补充使用在任何课程，涵盖常见的LISP，如人工智能或编程语言的概念。教学学生新的和更强大的方式思考的程序，这篇文章包含一个教程-充满了例子-解释了所有的基本概念的Lisp编程加上最新的总结ANSI常见的Lisp列出每一个运算符的语言。它提供了丰富的信息和乐趣，给学生一切他们需要开始在Lisp高效和有效地写程序，并突出了这样的创新Lisp功能，如自动内存管理显式输入闭包和更多。 由塞贝尔编著的《实用Common Lisp编程》是一本不同寻常的Common Lisp入门书。《实用Common Lisp编程》首先从作者的学习经过及语言历史出发，随后用21个章节讲述了各种基础知识，主要包括：REPL及Common Lisp的各种实现、S-表达式、函数与变量、标准宏与自定义宏、数字与字符以及字符串、集合与向量、列表处理、文件与文件I/O处理、类、FORMAT格式、符号与包，等等。而接下来的9个章节则翔实地介绍了几个有代表性的实例，其中包含如何构建垃圾过滤器、解析二进制文件、构建ID3解析器，以及如何编写一个完整的MP3 Web应用程序等内容。最后还对一些未介绍内容加以延伸。
(ANSI-Common Lisp for use as a core text supplement in any course covering common LISP such as Artificial Intelligence or Concepts of Programming Languages. Teaching students new and more powerful ways of thinking about programs this text contains a tutorial-full of examples-that explains all the essential concepts of Lisp programming plus an up- to-date summary of ANSI Common Lisp listing every operator in the language. Practical Common Lisp programming written by Seibel is an unusual introduction to common lisp. Practical Common Lisp programming starts from the author's learning process and language history, and then describes various basic knowledge in 21 chapters, mainly including: various implementations of repl and Common Lisp, S-EXPRESSION, function and variable, standard macro and custom macro, number and character, string, set and vector, list processing, file and file I / O processing, class, format Formats, symbols and packages, and so on.)
