Book Recomendations

[Ira Solomon]

I am an experienced programmer (40 years).  I've done Algol (if you've
heard of that you must be old too), PL/1, VB,VBA, a little C, and a
few other odd languages (e.g. Taskmate).
I'm interested in learning Python and have downloaded a slew of books.
Too many.
I'd like a recommendation as to which books are considered to be the
cream of the crop.
I know there are tutorials on the web, but, again, I don't know the
quality.  I would appreciate recommendations on those as well.

Thanks

Ira
