Even so, knowing some basic elisp makes Emacs an even more
powerful tool.  Basically, because it allows you to combine
build-in lisp functions to customized functions which you
then can bind to some keys or even combine into a simple
(minor) mode.

I don't know a good book (which doesn't mean that there
exists none), but you can learn a lot from looking at some
of the elisp files that come with Emacs.  If you, for
example, want to configure some mode, try to understand the
basic functionality of the elisp file implementing the
mode.  

Cheers,

Manuel
