I would add "Lisp In Small Pieces" by Christian Queinnec. The following code snipped from the REPL prompt We're glossing over a few details here, but if you have a little experience working with Lisp then you should have a pretty good idea of how to implement the above. Writing a recursive function to perform that calculation is pretty straight forward, and once we put all of these pieces together in our create-world routine, we have a working proof of concept. Lisp in Small Pieces is like that; it's more about a cute way to teach things that bends the mind than having fun in exploring design trade-offs. I find The Little Schemer and The Seasoned Schemer to be very good complements to SICP and I recommend them wholeheartedly for everyone. Subscribe to comments with RSS.

Chapter 5 of Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs and chapter 7 of Lisp in Small Pieces both present byte-code interpreting virtual machines for Scheme that are implemented in Scheme. Building a Lisp compiler (and environment) can be quite different from building a C or Pascal compiler. It's not just an aesthetic consideration. And back to the subject at hand, while it's not available for free on the web, if you love these kinds of CS books, Lisp In Small Pieces needs a place on your CS bookshelf. In other words, it is not really about truly building models. Queinnec's “Lisp in Small Pieces” covers the implementation implications of the choice between Lisp-1 and Lisp-2.
