The book, Delphi in a Nutshell, is superb. It covers the functions and commands in Delphi like they should be covered. They are listed alphabetically with explanations and examples of each. Each of them is explained much better than in any of the other books on Delphi. In each case, more insight into the actual use of the function or command is given than is available elsewhere. This book fills a long standing void in the literature on Delphi. I recommend it to all Delphi programmers and to those who program in other languages for graphical use interface operating systems.
