Frank reviewed Beautiful Code: Leading Programmers Explain How They Think (edited by Andy Oram) and gave it a whopping 10 out of 10 horseshoes.
This is a delightful book. A collection of 33 chapters, each by a different author, all of them worthy of study and thought. Each author was given the same brief - write about your most beautiful code - and the results range widely across the software landscape. ... Although there are code samples aplenty in this book, it's not really for direct use. If you want copy-and-paste solutions, look elsewhere. What this book offers is deep insight into what good code is, and how it is created. ... If you care about the craft of code, you should buy this book.
