[lug] PHP and Emacs book recommendations?

[David Outteridge]

If you buy the FSF Emacs book you will be supporting the free software
movement.

Emacs does have a built-in tutorial that may be adequate for your purposes.
M-x info <ret> then follow the instructions:  "h" for first-timers, and the
menu entry for VIper.

I checked out a couple at a local Barnes and Noble but wasn't overly
impressed with them.  I was looking for the O'Reilly one I thought was
already out, but I guess it's not yet.

As a writer trashed by an anonymous reviewer on Amazon, I don't put much
stock in online reviews - unless they happen to be by someone I *know*
knows what they're talking about.

Thanks.  I guess I'll pick this one up - it was at the B&N.
