Javascript Text Book recommendations

[PcolaSteve]

Are there any recommendations for text books on Javascript? I have taught myself Javascript, as well as HTML and such and own a few technical books on JS. I will admit I need more training and am looking for some type of text book recommendation, as in the type that might be used in a university / technical school course to go through.

The reference books I have now are "Teach Yourself Javascript" by SAMS (this book is somewhat out of date,) The "Javascript Bible" by Danny Goodman, "Learn Javascript" by W3schools and "Javascript: The Good Parts" by Doug Crockford.

Also jquery, a javascript library, is worth a look. It's a big time saver.
