It's not a good text book to Lisp beginners, but just specification of COMMON-
LISP.

I think there are not many good books on CommonLisp yet.  I recommend
"Common LISPcraft" by Robert Wilensky, Norton $26.95.  His book, "LISPcraft"
was very good text book on FranzLisp. I think it's easy to understand how to
write CommonLisp program.
