I'm less than a hundred pages into it at the moment, and so far, it certainly does tell you more than you ever imagined you might want to know about HyperTalk. For instance, it goes into painstaking detail over what happens when you put into a nonexistent char, word, item or line of a container, which aspects of this behaviour are actual features and which ones are considered bugs. The section on "debug hintBits" and "debug quickDraw" was particularly interesting.
