Are there any good CLOS books out there?

I have:

1) CLtL2
2) Object-Oriented Programming in Common Lisp by Keene (1Ed).
3) Draft 11 or July 30, 1990 of Chapter 3 of the CLOS Spec.


I find 2 to be too low level and simplistic, but 1 and 3 are not
organized for learning or using.

Is there anything in between?  Note that I plan to do things like
subclass clos:standard-class.  I don't want a book for people who just
want to know how to use defclass and defmethod.  I need more than that.


Thanks for any pointers.

I will summarize and post any pointers
