   Could someone recommend any books on CLOS, both at a general intoductory
   level, and at an advanced level.

"Object-Oriented Programming in Common Lisp", by Sonya E. Keene.
Addison-Wesley, 1989.  The ISBN is 0-201-17589-4.  The book is a
tutorial, user manual, and programmer's guide; it is not a language
specification, implementor's guide, or theoretical discussion.  In my
opinion, it's extremely well written, and you should find it to be
just what you want.  (It's also the *only* book on CLOS, as far as I know.)
