I know that Professor Ousterhout isn't planning a 3rd edition, but I
wondered if someone else was?

 
Well, regarding "if someone else was", there is this book
   "The TCL Programming Language" by Ashok P. Nadkarni
 
https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/BOOK+The+Tcl+Programming+Language
 
Have a look if this satisfies your reading needs ;-)

I've got that book too and although it is comprehensive it is by no means
a tutorial, so I still find "Tcl and the Tk Toolkit" much easier to learn
from. Of course, Ashok's book also covers OO and some of Tcllib which the
older book doesn't.

However, I still think an equivalent to a "Tcl and the Tk Toolkit" 3rd
edition is needed to cover all the things that the 2nd edition doesn't
(Tcl/Tk 8.6 and 9.0, TclOO), so I really hope someone writes it!
