At the risk of provoking flames for saying "me too:"  Hear hear! Nice job
on that review, Jayesh. I recently picked up Essential PHP Tools myself
and was planning to contribute a review to BookPool (where I got it)
and/or Amazon -- probably I still will -- but I'm glad you beat me to it.
I have yet to read more than a few pages so didn't feel ready to opine
formally. But so far, it's terrific. Extraordinary clarity and simplicity,
but without talking down. Packed solid with good stuff. And, not
infrequently, it's funny -- like all technical writing ought to be (-:

Way to go, Sklar!
