I would like to begin learning LISP soon. I have the book, "Common
LISP: The Language" by Guy L. Steele, Jr., printed in 1984 by
Digital Press (ISBN 0-932376-41-X). I'm wondering if this is a good
book for learning LISP.
It's a good reference work (but see below) - it's only good for
learning Lisp (we write "Lisp" here, not "LISP") if you're used to
learning from reference books. Some people like that, most don't.
I'd recommend Peter Seibel's book:
http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/
Is the content very much in agreement with the ANSI LISP standard?
Not completely. This page is helpful:
http://bc.tech.coop/cltl2-ansi.htm
This page covers the Second Edition of CLTL but I have the First
Edition doh :)
So I need to also find something which shows the differences between
the two versions and then compare that diff set to this document.
