Brian,

I've never gotten further than about halfway through _The Little Lisper_, but I
do enjoy its style.  I actually have a first edition copy that I happened upon
a few years ago.

I think you are fairly close to its style, but the orientation feels like the
audience would need substantially more programming as well as mathematical
background than TLL assumes.  If it's not your aim to emulate TLL's low level
of prerequisites, then please ignore the preceding comment.

I believe you can build a very worthwhile book on OOP in this style, though
again I think your approach is slightly different from TLL's persistent
direct-question-and-answer style (which as you recall begins on the book's very
first line with, "Is it true that this is an atom?  ATOM").  Your explanations
in the right-hand column tend toward exposition that has not yet been motivated
by a question in the left-hand column.


Al
