LV Is anyone aware of additional books, in either paper or electronic format, that deal with learning Tcl and Tk?

Purchasing
The major book sellers on line, such as Amazon.com [L2 ], Barnes & Noble, etc. sell the above titles that are in print. Other smaller sites, such as http://fatbrain.com/ and so forth carry many of these and offer significant discounts. Sites like http://www.half.com/ (or its parent http://www.ebay.com/ ) , Yahoo, etc. often have links to used book dealers, auctioning resources, etc. which also can be sources for books.

VL 14 jun 2003: I might mention http://www.addall.com/used/ here, searching many used bookstores online, then there is the different associations for used books dealers, depending on your location and interest there are many many more to mention.

Lending
Just a reminder that you might find local public or university libraries carrying some of the above as well.

Also, check out other web pages like Informal Tcl Book Reviews, http://phaseit.net/claird/comp.lang.tcl/tcl_books.html , http://www.beedub.com/book/store.html , http://john.redmood.com/tclbooks.html , etc.

RLH 2005-July-1: Do we know which of the Tcl books are either being updated or going to be updated?
