Can anyone recommend a good introductionary book dealing with AutoLisp and VisualLisp? I found some general Lisp books out there, but I'm uncertain how much Lisp variants differ.

I haven't found any in the old questions in here, either.

Saw this at a bookstore recently.

I have not read the book, but the comments on amazon lead on to believe that it is just what ldigas needs.

Super old thread but... I just bought this book and its excellent for learning the basic syntax and for drawing complex geometry. However, it doesn't cover interacting with an existing drawing database. I highly recommend it if you're doing computational design, but if you're writing scripts for drawing management or if you want to dig into the database to extract data from an existing drawing this isn't what you want.

"The Visual LISP Developers Bible" by David M. Stein for example. It is from 2004, but AutoCAD autolisp/visual-lisp API has not changed during last years.
