Would you recommend "Object Oriented Programming in Common LISP" by
Sonya keene to learn CLOS in terms of clarity, exhaustivity and value?

Reading CLOS coverage by Paul Graham and Peter Norvig left me
"hungry"!

Thank you.

This book has been recommended several times, but I haven't read it yet.
I have found the following overview paper to be very helpful.

* Linda G. DeMichiel and Richard Gabriel, The Common Lisp Object System:
An Overview

You can find it at http://www.dreamsongs.com/Essays.html
