Summary: The only Tcl Tk book I use
Comment: Welch's book is the only Tcl Tk book I use today. I started to learn Tcl Tk using Ousterhout's book. But after my 2nd Tcl Tk project, Ousterhout's book became woefully inadequate. So I went out and bought 3 other Tcl Tk books before I discovered Welch's. Now, I don't even look at any other Tcl Tk book. Welch is my best reference. The book contains numerous examples which makes using Tcl Tk even more fun.
I agree that the explanations at times are confusing, but at least Welch addresses many topics. Other books I found to be too limited in scope, contained too few examples and lacked depth and detail on Tcl Tk commands. Welch's is not a perfect book, but I think it is the best in the market for my needs.

Summary: It is a good book both for learning and for reference
Comment: I received this book 3 months ago and I have used it constantly. I think it is a good book both for learning, specially the first chapters of Tcl and Tk. And I find it is specially valuable for reference. For the latter the examples and the text of the more advanced chapters are quite helpful. Everything I have looked for I have found. The only thing I lack is a more complete/ revised Index. I recommend you this book if you are interested in Tcl/Tk (a wonderful scripting language).

Summary: Computing Graduate
Comment: This is one of my favourite computing books.
After you've studied a couple 3GL system language's and played with Perl & scripting. Understand computing concepts, (Tcl probably isn't too good for random beginners or people who just don't like the paradigm). If you're into computing and want.., then go for this one.
When you are the only person on campus doing-knowing any Tcl / Tk, you had better get the right book.
I mailled Brent with a question and sure enough he got back to me. (try that with Lara Lemay).
So for such a good book and service - 5 star award.
