GNU Emacs Pocket Reference: UNIX Text Processing

As Emacs is my favorite editor, this hand book comes in really handy, especially if you don't use some of the items enough to need refreshing. I don't always use the dired mode, but find it useful in a number of areas, so it's always at my fingertips. I'd suggest it, and you can write your own extensions on the cover backs.

maybe the best book till now on emacs, but not the book good enough to learn emacs

If you are new to Emacs, the I would recommend this book to you. It gives you all of the key commands that you need right at your fingertips.If you new to learn Emacs, get a full featured book, but also get this one. You will probably find yourself referencing this book quite often until you remember all of the common keystrokes.

I love O'Reilly Ppcket Books. Once one masters a subject pocket books provide an ideal reference and memory jogger.

Great summary

It is what is it is; It's a pocket guide. It's not exceptionally informative, but it provides baseline guidance for some of Emacs' many features.If you're already a user of emacs, chances are you'll get a little something out of this book that you didn't know existed before (I'm using Emacs diary and calendar now...) but it's mostly good to throw at subusers while yelling at them to RTFM because they're always complaining to you that they don't know how to use Emacs...

It's pretty tough to beat this pocket reference to emacs. It makes looking up both common options and less common commands and modes simple and quick. If you're an emacs user, this book is a must have -it's easier than apropos and quicker than C-h ?.

This book appears to be nice and indeed is, but it's too basic even for beginners. If you're a beginner, it won't do you any good because it's too simple yet to understand what it is about. If you're an advanced user, it's again too basic and lacks a lot of important references that should have been included (regexps, table commands, squeleton text commands, etc.). Take my advice: if you need a reference, buy the complete reference book from GNU Press which in return, has a pocket reference card attached to it (which BTW, you can also download for free...)

Very useful. Shows I have much more to learn about an old friend of over 30 years ...

This pocket reference covers the most helpful keyboard shortcuts for Emacs. It is a companion book, and as such, it is not enough to get started with Emacs.

Muy decepcionado con esta guía de bolsillo. Con lo enorme que es y la cantidad de posibilidades que tiene emacs... me parece un insulto esta guía que es poco más que un panfleto. Emacs simplificado al máximo, tanto, que francamente no merece la pena gastar el precio que piden. 3€ sería lo más adecuado... Si quieres tener un referencia rápida de emacs, usa google o búscate otra guía, esta no merece la pena. Además la impresión es de mala calidad... en fin... no hay nada que salve a este despropósito...

Habe mir das kleine Buch gekauft da ich von Visual Studio Code/IntelliJ auf Emacs gewechselt bin.Und ich ein kleines Nachschlagewerk gebraucht habe.Nach 3 Jahren bin ich nun voll im Emacs system drin...

It was not the edition pictured. It appears to be the first edition. But I won't complain. I'm a beginner so it works. And the price was right. Thanks.
