Actually, the one that's just come out is the 4th edition - and it's now
nearly 1400 pages.
It's designed to cover the language in depth - both reference content, and a
thorough explanation of the concepts. So it's designed both for experienced
users and also for beginners who want to become experts, but it's not a
step-by-step tutorial.

Subject: [xsl] Thoughts on the XSLT, Second Edition book
Whenever someone asks me about the books to learn XSL, from
personal experience, I recommend Jeni Tennison [1]for
starters and then her "XSLT on the Edge" [2]for recipes and
Dr Kay's "XSLT 2.0 Programmer's Reference" [3] and "XPath 2.0
Programmer's Reference", well for reference.
I just noticed XSLT, Second Edition coming out from
O'Reilly.[4] Does anyone have any experience with the book,
perhaps with the previous edition?
It seems to have some content targeted at beginners, yet the
sheer volume (986 pages) suggest reference style content.
Is it the reference then, or more recipe-oriented, can anyone
perhaps share the thoughts on the book's good and bad points?
Thanks in advance, Lech
