JavaScript Books That Don't Stink

I wrote a book on JavaScript over 10 years ago. It's long out of print, but there are still many Web pages that reference the book and this Web site.

 

If you're interested in learning about JavaScript, I highly recommended one of the books listed on this page. I've only included the handful that I think are truly worthy, and that have a good track record.
