You WILL regret buying this.
With a price tag of around forty quid, you'll probably think you're buying one of those massive computer tomes that you could use as a door-stop. You're not. You're getting a small-format book of 200 pages (so you're paying 20p per page, and those pages are in fairly large font, with LOTS of white space, and even more generally useless 'dark grey on slightly-less dark grey illustrations).Oh, and unless you're using the commercial version of the program, about a third of the book won't apply to you anyway.Then there's the typos. By page 34 I was already seriously starting to wonder if ANYONE (including the authors) had bothered to proofread this book at all. When basic English sentences are totally garbled and left incomplete, you have to wonder to what extent you can actually trust lines of coding or web links.There's ONE web link you can certainly trust, though. As is the case with many computer books, there's an accompanying website of material. Want to use it? Oh, goody! Another $50, thanks, ker-ching!Frankly, it's a long, long time since I've felt quite so ripped-off after buying a computer book. Scratch that. I've NEVER felt so ripped off after buying a computer book.I find it hard to see how anyone could buy this and not feel they'd been ripped off. As you've probably gathered by now, I don't recommend this book at all!
