I don't know anything about coding books to be able to recommend any. What I do know though is that the help files that come with AutoHotKey are fantastic.
They are indexed, searchable and contain examples to try out. If I want to find out the correct syntax for a command I think I can find it quicker in the help files than I could with a book.
That being said, I have little experience with other laguages but I am led to believe that AHK is up in the top 1-5% for support. Also the basics concepts of coding (variables, loops etc.) are pretty much the same across languages (as far as my limited experience knows) so a book may come in handy to explain these (although I'm sure there are online guides available for free which will contain the same information)

I have been looking through the FAQs and such as well as see what some of the people do with the possibilities and it amazes me.

Just a question. I really do wish to learn more and I think it may be helpful if I had something more tangible instead of digital. Would a book on scripting be appropriate or what should I look for at the book store?


Open Documentation, and press CTRL+P

Or:

http://www.autohotkey.net/~JohnB/autohotkey.pdf

Although that isnt for the latest version. But would at least get you started.

Print that off.

There isnt already a book about autohotkey, I think. The best is to study the help file and the scripts in this forum, step by step and look up all commands that are used in the scripts.
Btw:
Code:

F2::Reload

F1::
    Loop
    {
      Loop 6
      {
        Send, 1
        Sleep, 30000
      }
        Send, 2
        Sleep, 60000
   }
Return
