For Common Lisp, there are several free books available:
- Practical Common Lisp (aimed at people who know how to program in a more mainstream language already) [1]
- Paradigms in Artificial Intelligence Programming (my personal favorite) [2]
- Common Lisp: A Gentle Introduction to Symbolic Computation (aimed at absolute beginners of programming) [3]
I highly recommend the r/lisp reddit community. Reddit as a platform has its issues, but the (Common) Lisp community there is very responsive and very helpful.
Lastly, you might be interested in checking out a game written entirely in Common Lisp, to be released imminently on Steam. It's called Kandria, and it's effectively 100% Lisp. [4]

Along those lines there is a classic side scroller with mouse aiming called Abuse[1] that was written in Lisp. The source code is in the public domain now[2].
