Could someone recommend any books on CLOS, both at a general intoductory level, and at an advanced level. Thanks. Rob Bodington R.Bodington@reading.ac.uk

"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.)

Thanks to all those who replied to my query about books on CLOS. It appears that there is one: "Object-Oriented Programming in Common Lisp: A Programmer's Guide to CLOS" by Sonya E. Keene, Addison-Wesley, 1989, ISBN 0-201-17589-4. and that the official spec for CLOS is available in TeX source via anonymous FTP from arisia.xerox.com in /pcl/doc/*.
