In the last post I forgot to put the version number of the book. It is "Introduction to Programming in Emacs Lisp" vs 3.07, 9 November 2006.

Here is the previous post:
In the "Introduction to Emacs Lisp" Book, under List Processing:Lisp- 
Lists:Lisp Atoms, the eighth paragraph contains the following: 

"
In addition, text between double quotation marks--even sentences or
paragraphs--is an atom.  Here is an example:

     '(this list includes "text between quotation marks.")
"

The phrase "In addition" may be a little ambiguous to some readers, as it also 
sounds similar to the mathematical addition operation. Perhaps it could be 
replaced with something like "Furthermore"?
