The 5th edition of my book was not the only notable JavaScript book released this summer. I'd like to draw your attention to these two as well:
The authors of these two books, Christian Heilmann and Peter-Paul Koch, were kind enough to serve as technical reviewers on my book, and were also kind enough to send me copies of their own books.
I cannot actually review their books, however, since I have not had the time to read them. Nevertheless, the author's reputations speak well for the books. Both Christian and Peter-Paul are active web developers, members of the DOM Scripting Task Force (of the Web Standards Project) and advocates for unobtrusive scripting, accessibility, and other modern scripting practices.
Neither of these books aims to be "definitive" in the way mine does, but both are written by authors who have a lot of valuable experience with todays best practices. Since I haven't read the books myself, I can't tell you whether they share that experience effectively in these books. But I hold the authors in high esteem and want others to be aware of their work.
