Eloquent JavaScript
TLDR: “Fantastic technical book. Well-written and interesting.”
Not much to say about this except that it’s a seminal book on how to write JavaScript. It’s in its fourth edition, and it discusses not only the technically correct ways to write it, but stylistically correct ways as well.
The examples the author provides are kind of mind-blowing. One of then is a full-blown side-scroller game, which both reveals what JavaScript can do, but fully implies that you have learned enough through the book that doing something like this actually possible (and it is).
Very well-done. Required reading for a new-ish JavaScript developer.
