Concerning lisp style, I think the following article is particularly good: Tutorial on Good Lisp Programming Style
http://www.cs.umd.edu/~nau/cmsc421/norvig-lisp-style.pdf Being dated August 10, 1993, perhaps it is not entirely up to date with the available tools. And what it has to say about documentation seems very much oriented to the typical lisp programmer's view rather than Knuth's literate programming view, i.e. writing *code* that is intended to be read by a programmer as opposed to writing a *document* that contains code intended to be processed by the computer. With regard to BOOT, you should note what Peter Norvig says about "Syntactic abstractions". I wish he had written more about that.
