I realize this is broad but can anyone recommend advanced Common #lisp books/resources? And by "advanced" I mean the nitty gritty of pro quality software, REPL tricks, how to profile/monitor/deploy/manage packages/FFI calls etc. I've read PCL and PAIP so I have a modest grasp of the language itself.

I'm sticking with SBCL for now.

@deech Another book you could consider is "The Common Lisp Condition System" by @phoe. It not only explains why and how to use the peculiar CL error- and control- handling mechanism, but it also guides the reader through a complete implementation of it

@deech I recommend the Tutorial on Good Lisp Programming Style by Peter Norvig and @kentpitman. It's short but dense and packed with a lot of advanced material. I reread it a number of times and each time got something new out of it.
