By far the best programming book I've ever read, by orders of magnitude. I think the literate programming style fit this book well, but the main reason is simply that it tackles not just the theoretical side but also the practical side in great detail. In my experience a lot of programming books focus a lot on either and ignore the other, and that leads to frustration when trying to implement stuff in practice.
