Below O'Reilly Standard.


I know AppleScript has loosely defined commands but this book does little to provide the "Quick Reference" promised on the cover.


There is no real attempt to descibe the language in the book and - inexcusable for a reference book - the index is next useless (I suspect it was machine compiled. I suspect that with a proper index that had been checked an proofed it might be a better book .As it is it gathers dust.


The only excuse for owning this is that it is one of the few AS books around.


Save your money - look for tutorial online. You'll learn more that way.


A Disappointment.
