For one, when I started learning Python six months ago, I just went to
the Python site `http://www.python.org', got the PostScript documentation,
printed it all and bound it.

Then, I read the Tutorial, which only requires a few hours.  I quickly
glanced over everything, slowing down over the Reference Manual.  I referred
to both the Tutorial and the Reference at times, for a while.  Yet, once
you've got the essentials of the language, you should keep the Library
Reference both on your work desk and under your pillow for quite a while! :-)

On the other hand, if you do intend to build graphical user interfaces,
you need more, and then, I presume a more usual book might help.  I tried
it without books, and succeeded somewhat, but it was less easy.
