I've bought - and 'lost' - every version of this book. I learned SAS when documentation was almost nonexistent. Since then, I've used this book to effectively train new SAS programmers. Best book on the market to learn or develop your skills. I still use it for reference when I haven't used something in awhile. And with the ebook, no one can borrow the book and forget to return it!
