Anderson, Corbett and Reiser. A >presumably good tutor was written around this book. It is, but it is not ecspecially about Common Lisp. It is more about how to use Lisp with iteration and recursion, and it really does a good job there. If you want a good tutorail on Common Lisp, you should try D. Tatar, Common Lisp a tutorial. It tells a lot about Common Lisp and its usage, and refers many times to Steele. A less good book is Milner, Common Lisp a tutorial. It groups instructions nice, but it is too simple. Winston and Horn is no good tutorial, however it contains nice examples. Hope this will help, Marc Heijligers marc_h@es.ele.tue.nl
