I'm a new member to the info-pascal list (relatively).

In addition, I'm a new TP 5.5 user.  That is not to say a new TP user.
I've used both TP 2.0 & 3.01A for about 4 years.  I was introduced to
both PASCAL and TP in college while taking Computer Science.  Now, years
later I'm trying to get back to PASCAL programming.  I purchased TP 5.5 because
of the changes it offered. (Really it seems to dwarf my poor 3.xx version).

My question of the list is this:

 >I'm versed in PASCAL (very) but know little of the chages made since 3.xx.
 >  What books (besides the ref manual) are GOOD at bringing users to date?
 >  I have Mastering TP 5.5 by Swan.  Any reviews?
 >I've also received TASM 1.01 in the package.  I'm impressed with the ASM ,
 >but it's the same situation:  I need good ref books to suppliment the
 > "failings" of the Borland manuals (or me?).  They seem unclear on
 >many topics.
