2.0 out of 5 stars It's a start, but the books jokes are a little thin, 21 Jan 1999
By A Customer
It's better than nothing, but serious scripters would be better advised to go for something that spends more time on teaching and less on the weakest jokes imaginable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Probably the most complete applescript book for beginners., 1 Aug 1996
By A Customer
A good book for beginners who want a bit more than just the absolute basics. This book will guide you from the simplest of applescript scripts, to writing scripts that will save you heaps of time and effort.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent reference for my clients!, 28 Oct 1998
By A Customer
As a Macintosh AppleScript developer, I use this book as a training prep tool for the sccripts I design for my clients. It has all the pertainent operation information that I would use for client education - if I had to produce such a reference myself. For the individual wishing to learn AppleScript on his/her own, it is a great beginner to intermediate guide.
