Dear group, To sum up the two (!) answers on these foundational
# questions: 1. Which is the best book to get from Emacs/Org novice to guru? 2. Do I have to learn Lisp in order to master Emacs? # Answers: 1. All of the mentioned books are good; read the manuals that come with Emacs and Org mode; "Mastering Emacs" is a good tips book, but no manual replacement. 2. Yes. Thank you, Nikolay and Eric!
