A bit dense - the authors seem to think that documentation is equivalent to a core dump - and wacky for presentation details, with every token highlighted in some distinct way - but contains a lot of good information. They make the distinction between machine- processable and human-readable formats - a shame they didn't choose the latter themselves :-)
