TeX for the Impatient is a ~350 page book on TeX, plain TeX, and Eplain, written by Paul Abrahams, Kathryn Hargreaves, and Karl Berry.

Besides the source repository here, ftp://tug.org/tex/impatient/ has the released version and more.
It is also available from CTAN, http://www.ctan.org/pkg/impatient.

The authors have no plans to update the book, though we will help however we can. If you are interested in working on the many possible enhancements and improvements, see the README and errata.future files in CVS.

Updates to the book source to incorporate these images would be very welcome.
