Oh my,  applescript syntax always makes me feel 'inadequate'

At this point any advice on a exhaustive and up-to-date book on applescript ? evidently my old AS book (AS in a nutshell) isn't enough anymore, and I'm getting a bit frustrated of looking up the internet for script samples that make me discover a new kind of programming every week...

Thank you
