I found out that the Apress has posted the free e-book version of
"Practical Common Lisp" on their site:

http://www.apress.com/free/

Even though I bought the book myself, and I can refer to the text at
anytime by navigating to the HTML version.  I cannot express my
gratitude to the publisher and the author for the offering such a
wonderful book for everyone to see.

Thank you.

It's been available online since the chapters were in draft and
outline form at the author's site: http://gigamonkeys.com/book
