I just received the book today and just finshed the first chapter.. I like the way Graham looks at things (more with a scientific look) Im currious what the book will bring next...

Practical Common Lisp just arrived.
Have to spent some time reading now.
A very good addition to the lisp book shelf!

Be careful, many things in Common Lisp work very different from newLISP, and generally the programming style in newLISP is different, i.e.: less recursion and 'cons'.

The permuation function shown on this forum yesterday is an exception to the rule when it came out very similar to the Common Lisp original. The book is well written and interetsting to read, but I doubt it helps much to improve programming skills in newLISP.
