Yeah, that's the one (I'm at work, book's at home <g>...). Since it's really the ONLY one, the choice didn't take too long... Haven't used any of the others, but am thinking of springing for the Walnut Creek one. I could really use a better reference book :-). Dale's book is great for getting started but something a little more in-depth would be nice...
