Obtaining

The major book sellers on line, such as http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss/179-1335580-3966109?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=tcl+tk%|%Amazon.com ], Barnes & Noble , etc. sell the above titles that are in print. Other smaller sites carry many of these and offer significant discounts. Sites like ebay often have links to used book dealers, auctioning resources, etc. which also can be sources for books.

VL 2003-06-14: 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.''

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

Discussion

US: The two best Tcl/Tk books I have are Tcl und Tk, a german edition of Tcl and the Tk Toolkit, by John Ousterhout and Effective Tcl/Tk Programming by Mark Harrison and Michael McLennan. Although the first is terribly outdated (it describes Tcl 7.x and Tk 4.x) it was the one that initially attracted me to Tcl and Tk. I'd really wish, John O. would write a new edition on Tcl/Tk 8.4 or 8.5. It's a great book for beginners. IMHO still one of the best books to start with.

Breadcrust: I have Effective Tcl/Tk Programming myself, and it isnt a bad book, but it focuses too much on Tk but not so much on Tcl, and always uses the author's style of programming in Tcl, instead of suggesting different ways on doing things. But apart from that it isnt bad
