As this is, by far, my favourite text editor, I have thumbed through this reference innumerable times. There always seems to be a new set of commands to learn and to try to retain. Emacs is awesome and this book has really helped me drudge through it. I use emacs, in fact, on a daily basis.

Just a handy reference to complement the other author's book on the same subject.
