Well I've had the chance to buy and read most of it. It's
excellent. Wesley's book is probably the best I've read so far. I like the
mix of basic and more advanced topics at the end. The exercises in the back
of the chapter are the best I've seen. (I plan to steal liberally from them
next year when I teach my Python class :-)
