You can find a short description of all the IDL books
I know about, and others that I think are particularly
useful, here:

http://www.dfanning.com/documents/books.html

Cheers,

David

P.S. I really am thinking of keeping a lower profile,
but there are 12 inches of snow outside this morning
and I'm stranded here with a computer, and ... sigh ...
I miss my friends. :-)

May I humbly suggest "Practical IDL Programming":

http://www.gumley.com/

I've also heard a rumor there's one by someone named David Fanning. He
keeps a pretty low profile though...

Cheers,
Liam.
