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!
Best,
Birnle
