I was looking at his book, but I honestly think this one is a far better choice:

Never heard of it. Looked it up:

> Douglas Crockford starts by looking at the fundamentals: names, numbers, booleans, characters, and bottom values. JavaScript’s number type is shown to be faulty and limiting, but then Crockford shows how to repair those problems. He then moves on to data structures and functions, exploring the underlying mechanisms and then uses higher order functions to achieve class-free object oriented programming. The book also looks at eventual programming, testing, and purity, all the while looking at the requirements of The Next Language. Most of our languages are deeply rooted in the paradigm that produced FORTRAN. Crockford attacks those roots, liberating us to consider the next paradigm.He also presents a strawman language and develops a complete transpiler to implement it. The book is deep, dense, full of code, and has moments when it is intentionally funny.
If I had to guess, I would say books tend to appeal more to those learning JavaScript and this book seems to cover more advanced topics which could make it less appealing. Its also still early. The book hasn't been out for a month yet. But my first impression is that the cover is not doing much to help. To me it looks dated :P
