This is the Delphi bible (1k pages btw). It covers every area of the IDE, some tools and a just enough of the Pascal language. It is not the most pleasant book to read and it doesn't have too many jokes or funny pictures. However, if you use Delphi day by day, reading it will almost sure pay-off. I have more than 200 new things on my notes for this book.
