That is actually incorrect. Tango was a replacement for the Phobos  
Standard Library in D1 to expand on the thin capabilities of the library  
at the time. In D2 (current D implementation) Phobos is now the default  
standard library and includes most of the functionality of Tango. Ergo,  
TDPL (Andrei's Book) is the current Gold Standard D book.
