 I just wanted to note that I found this to be a very readable book,
 full of clear examples and good overviews of language syntax.  At
 just under 700 pages, it covers a broad range of Tcl topics.  A little
 light on the C side, it still does cover dealing with 8.0 Tcl_Obj's.
 It takes note of unicode, although it ends with Tcl8.1a1 and 8.0.3.

 For those who had questions before, the beginning of the book has a
 very good intro chapter on "Why Tcl/Tk?" that is the best I have seen
 in a Tcl book to date.  This book is also a little more open with
 talking about questions usually seen in FAQs.  It also has an end
 chapter covering (lightly) well-known extensions (BLT, Expect, ...).
