Don't know about "Professional" However, if you want to go the LISP route in the tradition of The Little Schemer, then check out: The Little JavaScripter:

That's cute but as someone that knows lisp if it doesn't support defmacro then it's not remotely lisp. That's where all the power of lisp is.

Also in general even if programer don't end up using LISP type of language they get better by just learning it. And Javascript is decent stand in for LISP, as Crockford points out.

I actually know some LISP, among other things. I'm asking specifically about JS.
