There's nothing quite like PAIP. It's more a book history than a book of programming. Although the programs are the main focus of the book it's not what gives the book quality. It's programs are relics but, it's content is not.
PAIP, SICP -- seems like if a book has a acronym, then it must be great. Can't come up with more examples though.
Sticking with the Lisp family: LiSP (Lisp in Small Pieces), AMOP (The Art of the Metaobject Protocol). More general: TAOCP (The Art of Computer Programming). Edit: CLTL2: Common Lisp the Language CLRS: Introduction to Algorithms, referred to by the authors’ initials CSP: Communicating Sequential Processes EOPL: Essentials of Programming Languages
Earlier quoted context omitted.

TLS, TRS I've seen abbriviated, for the little,reasoned schemer
The CSP abbreviation I gave is also a bit of a stretch. Most people who use it probably mean it for the concepts, not the book itself.
Fine then.

One day I’d love to find a reasonably priced copy of LiSP. It’s the most elusive widely-recommended book I’ve ever come across.

Speaking of which, there is radio silence about the AIMA 4e in the community. No one appears to talk about it, no one appears to use it, no appears to be praising it, or criticizing it. It doesn't exist. Fine then.
