> is there such a thing as a bad Lisp book?
Yes, there exists a certain a really awful book from the 1980's about making your own Lisp in C, which has recently been reprinted in essentially its original form.

Not to be confused with other books from the 1980s about doing Lisp in C, like Lisp: A Portable Implementation by S. Hekmatpour.
From a best practices point of view, it is pretty awful.
