Common Lisp the Language is a book by Guy L. Steele about Common Lisp. The first edition (Digital Press, 1984; ISBN 0-932376-41-X; 465 pages) served as the basis for the ANSI Common Lisp standard. The second edition (Digital Press, 1990; ISBN 1-55558-041-6; 1029 pages) reflected the then-current status of the standardization process and documented important new features such as Common Lisp Object System (CLOS), the loop macro, conditions, series and generators.
