It's short, but very concise and informative. If one is strapped for cash or interested in further learning, Crockford has at least a dozen "talks" available for free viewing (via Yahoo!, YouTube, etc). He covers far more in these "talks" than his books. > Richard Cornford once said that Flanagan's book is the "least bad > JavaScript book" to be recommended: > [...] Having made the mistake of purchasing that book, I'd like to caution others against doing the same. The last "good" edition (edition 5) was essentially an encyclopedia that taught me next to nothing. Better information is available via the W3 (DOM, etc) and ECMA specs. Edition 6 came out earlier this year. Among its "revisions" is an entire chapter on jQuery and some assorted canvas bits. Avoid at all costs.
