The classic text Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (HTML, PDF, TexInfo) was used in the introductory Computer Science course at MIT until 2005. Video lectures to accompany the text are available from MIT, Berkeley, and Ars Digita University.
The Little Schemer is an update of "The Little LISPer", and should be read by anyone seriously working with Lisp or Scheme.
How To Design Programs is a good introductory programming book (using scheme) from MIT Press, available online as HTML.
A good online Scheme tutorial is "Teach Yourself Scheme in Fixnum Days".
Sketchy LISP by Nils Holm is "A Condensed Introduction to Functional Programming in Scheme."
Text Editors and Development Environments
Emacs is the traditional editor for Lisp development.
Zmacs was an Emacs precursor found on the MIT CADR and Symbolics Lisp machines.
An Introduction to the EMACS Editor (MIT AI Labs Memo 447, 1978)
I use GNU Emacs.
Some people prefer XEmacs instead.
- Getting Started with XEmacs
- XEmacs Users Manual
- XEmacs Lisp Reference Manual
- XEmacs Internals Manual
Marco Baringer created a video showing the use of SLIME, the Superior Lisp Interaction Mode for Emacs.
ERC is a popular Internet Relay Chat client written in Emacs Lisp.
Gnus is a Usenet news reader written in Emacs Lisp.
Lisp Machines
I've long been fascinated by Lisp Machines, especially those made by Symbolics.
If you have any Lisp Machine hardware, software, or documentation that needs a home, let me know.

LISP Machine Hardware (MIT AI Labs memo 528, 1979)
MIT CONS and CADR Lisp Machine documentation (from the BitSavers archive).
Lisp Machine Manual in hypertext format
Brad Parker has developed an emulator for the CADR Lisp Machine.
Alastair Bridgewater has an emulator for the Texas Instruments Explorer I.
Daniel Seagraves has an emulator for the Explorer I as well.
LispMachinery is a wiki for Lisp Machine hackers and emulators.
Xerox has an emulator of their Interlisp-D environment running Medley available.
BitSavers has rescued some Interlisp-D documentation.
Symbolics still has a website and offers a limited selection of hardware and software for sale
