>Nothing against such authors;

I have something against them. It's often apparent that many of them are professional programming book authors that are learning the language as they are writing the book instead of being professional programmers with some skills in the language that are writing a book. I don't want to learn along with another unskilled person, I want to learn from someone that has enough familiarity to not use features incorrectly and to mention potential hangups. Hell a lot of these books read like they are written by someone that is new to programming altogether, not just someone that is relatively new to the language.
