Since you were kind enough to ask...what I'd really like is a better 
better index and better organization, so I can more quickly and easily 
locate info on a particular topic.

Nutshell has some wonderful in-depth discussions of certain topics and 
I'm glad I own it, but I find it too hard to use for everyday questions 
(which was not at all what I expected for a "nutshell" book). I usually 
start with the html help (if I know the module I need or have a firm 
guess as to which other manual to read) or Python Essential Reference 
(other cases), then go to Nutshell if I'm still lost or if I remember it 
has a good section on the topic of interest.
