# 9 (FREE) JavaScript Books That Are Well Worth Reading

**[Bits and Pieces](https://daily.dev/sources/bit)** · 8 min read · 38 upvotes · 5 comments

## Summary

Eloquent JavaScript assumes a level of programming knowledge but isn’t an advanced book. The Modern JavaScript Tutorial is split into three parts covering as much of the subject as it is possible to cover in a publication. Human JavaScript is not the most detailed book ever but it gives valuable insight into client-side JavaScript applications.

> Javascript Enlightenment is definitely worth reading. The opening paragraph of the book states the objective. That objective should be the aspiration of every front end developer, regardless of the framework in play.
