+1 - It's not only a great JS book, but a great CS book. Incredibly dense, worth reading a few times.

Also definitely worth watching his YUI Theater presentations.

And it contains a chapter about JSON.

This text is from Chapter one. After reading this I decided to read this book.Most programming languages contain good parts and bad parts. I discovered that I could be a better programmer by using only the good parts and avoiding the bad parts. After all, how can you build something good out of bad parts?

No question this is one of the very nice work done.

Javascript: the Good Parts by Douglas Crockford. Good explanations and walkthrough of the features that are under-used.

I would definitely recommend Pro JavaScript Techniques ..it is written in nice narrative way, which makes it easy and fun to read. Secrets of the JavaScript Ninja on MEAP is also a nice read, has good javascript reference in the end.

Peter-Paul Koch's "ppk on JavaScript" looks good. However, I'm not sure whether or not it covers JSON.
