I purchased this book at B&N 3/14/07 because of the multi-regression examples but also wanted to see ALL Excel files (esp since it appeared important in the book). The other reviewer is correct - only Chapters 3-8 provided in download - and as examples only. Also - this book is over a yr old (1/2006 first printing) - no errata or updates shown on website-guess all info is correct. I do get a 30% discount apparently on buying the next book version - whenever that is (no indication). Oreilly makes it difficult to obtain the examples and in order to try Safari (its online bookstore) you have to provide all details including CCard billing info and read a long EULA. (Interestingly the EULA wants reference to using code in all your files, but the book says only if selling or publishing - confusing). When I buy a $40 book - good support means all Excel files and any text/files UPDATES on the website and easily obtainable without charge. You can ask for info to make sure I bought the book, but not so much personal info. I will update after I've used the book a while (since I've got to type in the other examples) but so far not too impressed. |
