Agreed, except that it uses Scheme instead of Common Lisp.
The exact reference is:
D.P.Friedman, M.Felleisen, The Little LISPer, Trade Edition, MIT Press,
1987.  ISBN 0-262-56038-0 (pbk.)

For Scheme, there are other *very* good introductory books around,
namely Abelson+Sussman and Springer+Friedman.
