The book A Programmer's Guide to COMMON LISP by Deborah Tatar (Digital Press, 1987), along with the errata, is now online with permission from the author.

My review of the book:
https://journal.paoloamoroso.com/reading-a-programmers-guide-to-common-lisp
@amoroso it seems like there’s a renaissance to onboarding folks to lisp again with new ides and someone actually talking about how to program with the repl (per your post). Saved for later!
@amoroso I had the pleasure of meeting her in Porto, while at ELS - it was pure coincidence that she happened to be on campus for unrelated reasons. She's lovely, and seemed bemused that CL is still roughly as popular now as it was then.
@KatS There's a video of Tatar back in the PARC days from a videotape recording:

@amoroso Wow, there's a link to the past! Thanks :)
@amoroso It is about CLtL1 Common Lisp, not Ansi Common Lisp, but interesting nonetheless.
@kalmanreti Right, it covers the early language.
