Re: Common Lisp book still apropos?

I would like to begin learning LISP soon.
As Edi mentioned, it's not called "LISP" anymore. It's "Lisp".

I have the book, "Common LISP: The Language"
by Guy L. Steele, Jr., printed in 1984
Don't use that version, it's missing a lot of changes.
There's a 2nd edition from 1990 here:
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/Groups/AI/html/cltl/cltl2.html
You can download it from links at the bottom of the page.

I'm wondering if this is a good book for learning LISP.
It's a reference, not a tutorial. The book Edi mentioned
is a popular tutorial. CLtL2 is a good reference, though.

Is the content very much in agreement with the ANSI
LISP standard?
It's not as authoritative as the hyperspec, but it's pretty
close, and you can download it in several formats.
