"A book is worth a thousand web pages" - yours truly

Here is a collection of what I consider to be some of the best books available on JavaScript. If all you need is a couple of gizmos for your homepage, you are better off using the internet instead of buying a book. But if you take JavaScript seriously, a couple of books would definitely help.

The links on this page will take you to the Amazon.com web site from where you can buy the book on-line.

If you qualify for an Amazon.com visa card, Amazon.com will give you a $20 gift certificate free which you can use for the book (or whatever).
