All but the scripting...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This is a clear and simple guide to learning emacs. It loses a star, though, for having very little on emacs Lisp, the scripting language you use to really make emacs jump through hoops. Still, you can get an excellent start with this book.
Very good reference

I liked the depth of examples in this book. Where the O'Reilly book "Learning GNU Emacs" gave an excellent introduction and overview, this book gave more involved examples. For example in the regexp-search-replace, this book showed the use of \( and \) for grouping and \1 \2 \3 for where to place the each group in the replacement string. If your are new to Emacs, get the O'Reilly book; then get this book next.
