(More customer reviews)Although more detailed books like Welch's 'Practical Programming in Tcl and Tk' are very useful, Ousterhout's original book is still the best way to learn the language. His style is clear and concise, and he covers the core of the language with good examples and thorough explanatory text.
The layout is clean and easy to read, without any space wasted on fancy graphics or eye-candy. Instead, you get clear tables laying out what happens, or listing the commands in a certain functionality area. For example, page 122 has a table I've gone back to many times that lists the different return values from catch.
Even though I have and use other Tcl books, when I just want to check a point of syntax or verify functionality, this is the one I go to. It's an invaluable book for a Tcl/Tk developer.

Since Tcl and the Tk Toolkit is written by the creator of the Tcl scripting language and the Tk toolkit, this book is the single authoritative resource for anyone who wants to produce far more powerful X Window System applications in a fraction of the time that would otherwise be required. Tcl and the Tk Toolkit offers an introduction and overview of this impressive programming environment, including detailed instructions for script writing in Tcl and working with the Tk toolkit. The book also describes the C interfaces for Tcl and Tk for those readers who wish to extend their built-in features by writing new C commands.
