Ed,
Thank you very much for the reply.
The problem is that I have already found all those references :)
What I want is personal advice (eventually offlist) on the good and the bad, or rather, on the good and the best :)
The online reference is pretty good as far as I can tell, but I'd really like to have something I can read on a chair because that's how I process complex things better.
Eventually, even something like the Oreilly Pocket Guides would work. I just need to be able to be off the computer with that thing.
