Weiss:
I am extending borrowed library book for the third time. I think it is time I invested in a good book, or a few books. What would be a good one to go with object pascal more in depth, anything past intro/beginner level?

Also, I found that Delphi books are fine, since this is same language, and very (VERY) similar environment. Please share what is on your shelf.

eljo:
two well regarded titles in the delphi community are

* Julian Bucknall's The Tomes of Delphi Algorithms
* Ray Konopka's Developing Custom Delphi Components
there are also books for opengl, graphics, win32 programming and other specific subjects that you can buy, depending on your interests.

egsuh:
These are quite old books, but I think they deserve a read.

1. Edward Weber, etc. (1996) Developing with Delphi Object-Oriented Techniques

     This book is for entry level, but explores philosophies of OOP and Delphi.

2. Charles Calvert (1996), Delphi 2 Unleashed

    This is another old book, but deals really in-depth level.

Books from
* ) Marco Cantù
* ) Walter Doberenz and Thomas Kowalski
* ) Andreas Kosch
are always good to look for (maybe some author have not written in english)

marcov:
The best is still the Delphi 7 reference guide, but that is not for sale. I learned some GDI programming from the "core" series (that also has a book on general win32 api)
