Books like On LISP by Paul Graham


The title, "On Lisp", refers to the idea that you can solve a programming problem by building a language that makes it easier to talk about the problem. In Lisp, the programmer creates a problem-specific language built on top of the basic Lisp constructs called macros. This style of programming is known as bottom-up programming. This book, "On Lisp", is especially known for the complete description of Common Lisp macros and their uses. It also covers many other aspects of bottom-up programming in Common Lisp.
