  <longdescription>In this greatly expanded edition of the defacto standard, you'll learn about the nearly 200 changes already 
made since original publication - and find out about gray areas likely to be revised later. Written by the Vice-Chairman of X3J13 
(the ANSI committee responsible for the standardization of Common Lisp) and co-developer of the language itself, the new edition 
contains the entire text of the first edition plus six completely new chapters. They cover:

    * CLOS, the Common Lisp Object System, with new features to support function overloading and object-oriented programming, plus 
complete technical specifications
    * Loops, a powerful control structure for multiple variables
    * Conditions, a generalization of the error signaling mechanism
    * Series and generators
    * Plus other subjects not part of the ANSI standards but of interest to professional programmers. 

Throughout, you'll find fresh examples, additional clarifications, warnings, and tips - all presented with the author's customary 
vigor and wit.
