The Book of JavaScript (2nd edition) by "thau!" (Dave Thau, according to the book's companion website) is a new and comprehensive introduction to the JavaScript language presented in an entertaining, practical format. I was provided a review copy by the publisher, No Starch Press. I have significant practical experience with JavaScript, so I do not consider myself in the target audience for this book; however, I still found much of it useful so it will remain as a valuable reference on my bookshelf.

Many years ago I learned very basics of JavaScript programming from Thau's JavaScript tutorial on Wired's WebMonkey site (it's probably still there). He's very good at taking to the novice user through new concepts and I still feel grateful for the start his tutorial gave me. If this book's half as good, it'll be a great resource for the newbie!
For the more advanced user, it's hard to beat O'Reilly's "JavaScript: The Definitive Guide" which is sat on the desk next to me right now.
