The title "Lisp from nothing"

doesn't seem to fit with:

"INTENDED AUDIENCE This is not an introduction to LISP."

on page 10.

[gentooflux]

Nothing as in "from scratch", as opposed to Nothing as in "Visual Basic's NULL".

[nils-m-holm]

Yes, the book is about the bootstrapping of LISP, both in a historical and practical context. Hence "from nothing".

[kazinator]

Would you also think that "Energy from Nothing" must be an introductory physics text? :)
