Indeed; I think it's been ready for a while. We have introductory books
for programmers and for complete non-programmers, books that are concise
(consider Beazley's Essential Reference, which covers the whole language in
~20 pages) and books that are large. I don't think there's any point in
writing an introductory or a reference book any more; it would be too
difficult to improve upon the existing titles.
