From the author's post on Amazon: My first book, "ppk on JavaScript", is about basic JavaScript. Not basic as in "simple scripts for simple sites", but basic as in "performing basic tasks", such as registering an event handler while making sure the this keyword continues to work, or knowing under which circumstances a string is converted to a number (or vice versa). All JavaScripters need such knowledge. If you're a standards-aware CSS wizard, this book is definitely for you. I wrote it with you specifically in mind..."

I know that a lot of books on HTML, CSS, JavaScript, XML, etc... are written with the beginner in mind. Someone who may want to use these tools in putting up a simple website to display personal content such as family pictures and the like. If that's your situation, avoid this book at all costs. Koch makes it clear that he wrote this book for "a standards-aware CSS wizard". If that's not you, move on to another JavaScript text.
