From the Author:

The 2nd edition is up-to-date with Tcl/Tk 8.0
The 2nd edition describes Tcl/Tk 8.0 and has chapters that summarize the changes between Tcl 7.4/Tk 4.0 and the current releases. I note that my publisher says the book covers the "new Tcl 7.5 / Tk 4.1" releases, which are actually quite old. I work in the Tcl/Tk group at Sun and have the inside track on what it offers.
