I loved that book for so many reasons, but one in particular is the appendices which cover the bad parts of JavaScript. Coming from a C++ background, I had a few WTF moments early on coming up to speed with JavaScript and it was a cathartic experience to know that I'm not the only one who finds certain aspects of JavaScript a little annoying (I'm talking to you, variable scoping rules). It's one of the first books I recommend for colleagues who want to really learn Javascript.
