Being old fashioned, I like to have a reference book to hand. I'm a seasoned embedded C developer, but find the inheritance and syntax of Javascript a little confusing at this time. Are there any particular books that people here recommend in this matter?
I assume that those intended for web development are still relevant, just obviously events are different, I understand that?
Javascript : The Complete Reference 3rd Edition by Fritz Schneider and Tomas Powell looks OK - any comments?

While not a book, I find https://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp invaluable for JS - well indexed, working examples, built in editor to test their code examples.
For reference use, I use the link on a 10" tablet nearby for quick lookups/help.
I also find https://stackoverflow.com (search for JS) very helpful, especially to see some routines (optimized) for certain operations - for example, a great comma adder (to make numbers readable) that uses 'regular' expressions (a study in itself) - fun to see the many ways of doing it, that in itself gives a form of instruction & learning.
For a quick start into JS I did subscribe to a JS video course on Udemy that proved helpful and gave a systematic coverage -
