Correct me if I'm wrong, but 'you don't know of any Lisp documentation
besides what's in the Emacs distribution'? Are those the missing
adjectives?

If so:
* take thyself unto a shoppe with dealeth with the sale of scrolls
and parchments. Speak unto the keeper thereof, and asketh for 
parchments which deal with Lisp.
* take thyself unto the 'net, yeah even unto the place known as 
'google', or perhaps unto 'savvysearch'. 

A quick google search revealed several tutorials. A quick search
of Amazon.com (I know, I know) revealed lots of books.

I can't recommend any personally - the uni I went to taught us 
Prolog as our declarative language.
