I have to disagree with this.  The above is the only tcl/Tk book that I
have used (mostly because it came out first), but I found it to be
confusing and felt that it showed very poor coding style.  Several of the
critical examples are far from clearly explained.

In case I wasn't clear, I didn't like it.

I suggest that you look at some of the newer books and hope that the
publishers found an author that could code as well as write.

Cheers,
Dave
