This book is a good intro to Lisp itself, which is worth knowing in any case- and symbolic AI is probably one of the best domains for it!
As for GOFAI in the age of DL/LLM, yes, you should know it, for a couple of reasons. A lot of these techniques aren't really considered "AI" anymore, they're just regular CS algorithms everybody should know: graph search, backtracking, optimization, parsing, etc. The other is that a lot of newer DL/LLM is actually going back to these old problems, but bringing all the new techniques to deal with limitations of the classical algorithms.
