Dear group,

Since I like to know my daily used software „by heart“ and I really 
don’t want to ask too many silly questions, here’s another:

Which book (or books) do I have to read / work through to get from 
Emacs/Org novice to (almost) guru? Which is/are the best in your 
opinion?

I’ve seen that there is

- the *GNU Emacs Manual* from Richard Stallman
- *The Org Mode 7 Reference Manual* from Carsten Dominik and others
- *Mastering Emacs* from Mickey Petersen (www.masteringemacs.org)

Are there more? Which one is obligatory? And I know the sites

- www.emacswiki.org
- orgmode.org

and some others. All the good information is out there, but where is it 
bundled in one (or two or three) book(s)?

And is it necessary to learn Lisp in order to master Emacs?

Best,
Birnle
