AMOP: The Art of the Metaobject Protocol, 
      http://www.amazon.com/Art-Metaobject-Protocol-Gregor-Kiczales/dp/0262610744
      is an essential book for understanding the implementation of CLOS and advanced OO. 

See also the specification of MOP at http://www.lisp.org/mop/

Well, for CLOS specifically, "Object Oriented Programming in Commmon
Lisp: A Programmers' Guide to CLOS" would be the book.
http://www.amazon.com/Object-Oriented-Programming-Common-Lisp-Programmers/dp/0201175894/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1243504503&sr=1-1

Most Common Lisp books have good intros to CLOS. Peter Seibel's 
"Practical Common Lisp" is especially good in my opinion. But others are 
also not too shabby. ;)

AMOP is something that you should definitely read sooner or later as 
well, but it's better to first start with some more basic introduction.
