Digital Press, the publishers of the Common Lisp standard reference manual
has also come out with an excellent introduction to Common Lisp by Deborah
Tatar entitled "A Programmer's Guide to Common Lisp."

If you're interested in the latest ideas in lexical scoping, try the
detailed book on the implementation and use of Scheme -- "The
Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs" by Hal Abelson and
Gerry Sussman, from MIT Press.
