Title: Truly a waste of money
Product review: I needed to get a quick reference to AppleScript and this was the only book available in the bookstore. This book fails on so many levels, many of which have already been outlined here. However, there are two important points I want to reiterate:* If you don't already know a language, this book's coverage of AppleScript is too cursory to be useful. You can't learn basic scripting from this book.* If you already know a language, this book's coverage of AppleScript is too cursory to be useful. Except for a brief AppleScript studio project, the examples rarely get past the complexity of "hello world". Get the language ref from Apple's web site and don't miss the AppleScript Guidebook of Essential Subroutines as examples to get you started.
