For lisp and-the-like interpreters, including source code, see Kamin's [1]
excellent book on programming languages. For INSIDE of lisp, the one I always
found to be inspirational is also somewhat dated: Allen's Anatomy of Lisp.
Multitutes of other books have bits and pieces of what you need, but I cannot
supply you with a comprehensive list at this moment.
