The book:

  "The Brain Makers - The Quest for Machines that Think"
  Harvey Newquist
  SAMS Publishing, 1994
  ISBN 0-672-30412-0

provides extensive details on LispM vendors and, more generally, on the AI
business. It also covers the LMI/TI deal you refer to. The book is a
fascinating reading, but it lacks technical details. I bought a used copy
from Amazon for 23$ on July 2000.

If I recall correctly, major facts about AI vendors are also summarized in
the thesis:

  "If It Works, It's Not AI"
