I'm reading and getting a lot out of _Practical Common Lisp_.
I'd like to get a pocket book documenting all the common lisp
functions, macros, etc for use when writing lisp code.
O'Reilly doesn't seem to do Lisp.
Is there such from another source?

Install a local copy of the Common Lisp HyperSpec. That's the most
physical space- and time-efficient solution.

I've seem people mention doing this, but I haven't seen a convenient
way to do it. I've found these references to the Hyperspec:

http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/common-lisp.html
http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Front/index.htm
http://www.lisp.org/HyperSpec/FrontMatter/index.html

But it's 2300 files and I don't want to get them by hand. Where can
you get a copy of the Hyperspec to install?
