Wizard Book




<publication> Hal Abelson, Gerald Sussman and Julie Sussman's "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs" (MIT Press, 1984; ISBN 0-262-01077-1), an excellent computer science text used in introductory courses at MIT.

So called because of the wizard on the jacket.

One of the bibles of the LISP/Scheme world.

Also, less commonly, known as the Purple Book.
