Interesting, possibly flawed analogy: The Build Your Own Lisp book explains how, and the LoL book explains why. Build your own lisp book is the natural pairing for LoL, despite many people claiming it goes best with Seibel's common lisp book or whatever. Seibel's book is good, don't get me wrong; I just don't think its the proper pairing in the sense of culinary arts putting together a plate of well paired books. The common lisp people and the clojure people fight viciously as only siblings can; this will infuriate those in the common lisp tribe but the ideal introductory lisp book in the general sense of the language is probably not Seibel's book its probably the comedic Clojure for the Brave and True. Not aware of anything quite like that, for common lisp.
