No. It is unknown to Amazon.com, too. Tell us what you know, please.

It seems unknown to Google.com, too. There seem to be a couple of
Milners that have written things about Common Lisp, but none of them
are a "Dictionary," and none seem terribly recent...

Amazon.de doesn't find it either. But Amazon in the UK does:
<http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0131583611>
Not much information, though, but at least an ISBN and a release date.

Perhaps the lack of information is due to the fact that (according to
Amazon.co.uk) the book is not yet released. The release day is said to be
September 30, 2002.

I stumbled across it on this Swedish site:
http://www.bokus.com/cs/1031408359/cgi-bin/more_book_info.cgi?ISBN=0131583611
Googling for "Common Lisp Dictionary" I also found the Amazon UK page,
but that didn't say much either.
A catalog search at the publisher, Prentice-Hall, didn't turn up
anything, neither at www.prenhall.com nor www.pearsoneduc.com.
www.prenhall.co.uk isn't accessible now.

The author's website is at http://www.frii.com/~wmilner/ but it doesn't
give any information either.
Is someone willing to contact him?

I did. Here's what she wrote me back:
Several years ago, I had a proposal in for the dictionary. However,
before I could complete it, another publisher put one out. Thus, I
never finished mine. It was a Reference manual with all the
functions listed alphabetically and fully defined.
Where did you get the information on the book? This seems like very
out of date information.
