In this greatly expanded second edition, six completely new chapters cover the Common Lisp Object System (CLOS), conditions, Pretty Printing, Loops, Series, and Generators. All of the new material -- well over half the book -- is clearly distinguished from the original text.

This book is necessary for people writing Common Lisp. It's the closest you can get to a good description of the official standard (except for the standard itself, of course). Unfortunately, it's not perfect. The descriptions are a bit boring and sometimes slightly confusing; it's also a bit difficult to find what you need in the book. But I'd absolutely recommend it to anyone serious about programming in Common Lisp.
