a comprehensive Tkinter document?

I know a major problem I am having is that I am finding lots of Tkinter
information in 'fragments' of various , sometimes conflicting vintages.
For example the python reference I was using didn't show the '%%' as
an escape sequence, I posted asking how to escape the '%' and after
several helpful responses voila I found a more complete table of escape
sequences. Is there a comprehensive document or book that I can get
that is relatively current? I realize that updates and changes are
dynamic, but I'm realizing that I am trying to use documents that look
similar, only to find that one is several years old, or that another
applies to an offshoot of Tkinter. I'm not even sure Tkinter is the
'preferred' gui anymore. Any suggestions?

Maybe not comprehensive but I think reasonably current:

Yes, these are two of my staples, though I have occasionally slipped
into 'copies' elsewhere that aren't kept up.

Thanks,
