Obviously, you already have Peter Seibel's book. It would be my first 
recommendation. (In fact, if you look in the book, you will find a quote 
from me to that effect.) The other two books I would recommend are 
Norvigs' Paradigms and Graham's On Lisp. The former is available on Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/Paradigms-Artificial-Intelligence-Programming-Studies/dp/1558601910/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1213821699&sr=8-1

The latter is only available as a (free!) download from Graham's web page:

http://www.paulgraham.com/onlisp.html

In a strange coincidence, a colleague just today gave me his old copy of 
On Lisp.

The Common Lisp HyperSpec is a cross-referenced version of the Common 
Lisp specification.

It's tremendously useful.
