I can see this book is full of useful information but ultimately fails to provide a coherent structure, which is what I expect from a reference manual. The information and the relationship of that information is not well organised or properly indicated. DOM support or non standard deviations are not adequately described and the index is unhelpful.
It's a frustrating book to use and I find myself tossing it and using Google instead. The layout and structure needs a complete overhaul to get some of that bloat under control and improve the navigation.
Also, what happened to the onscroll event?

"...the book is quite an achievement. This volume will be well used in my library, at least until the next edition comes out. Highly recommended."

I'm not sure which book on JavaScript he read, but I found this book incredibly useful and overall pretty good in relationship to other books on the subject matter.
