This is a short succinct reference manual written in a clear and concise manner. It tells you everything you really need to know and not much more. There are short examples of syntax to help explain the concepts. If you need to simply write programs in LUA, then this is your choice. If you need to go deeper (e.g. embed LUA in your own application) then I recommend you get "Programming in LUA".

Basically the same as the online reference from the LUA dot ORG site but it works for me since I like printed reference materials. The book is a language reference not an instruction manual so if you have some LUA programming experience already this is for you.

This is a fantastic reference book for the Lua programming language, and I keep it on my desk whenever I'm working in Lua. Please note that this is not a "learn Lua" type of book, it's just a reference manual. If you want to learn Lua then check out Programming in Lua, Second Edition

This book is a literal print of the reference manual available online ( [...] ). It's well written by the original language author. Note that LUA is currently 5.2 but this book is for 5.1. However LUA is typically embedded so it's goof to keep as a reference for the specific version in use.
