Common LISP: The Language

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. It reflects changes or potential changes to the language resulting from some 185 votes of the ANSI committee on standardizing Common Lisp. It includes as well fresh examples and additional clarifications, warnings, and tips -- all presented with the author's customary vigor and wit.
