Title: Too buggy to be useful
Review: Not a bad book, but the editing is truly c-----, especially on examples and figures. Spaces are omitted, labels are wrong, etc. Also, the author gets some things wrong, like his explanation of "Dealing with the width of widgets containing text". Here he gives a tortured workaround due to what he thinks is a bug in Tcl, which is really his misreading of the manual (c means "character", not "centimeter" in text widgets.) The concept and writing of the book is otherwise pretty good, but I'd wait for a better editing job on the next edition. Or better, buy Practical Programming in Tcl and Tk by Brent Welch.
