Summary: Great new book covers basics, real-world use & OS 8.5!
Comment: This is the third AppleScript book I've bought but the first that told me what I needed to know (and made sense)!
The book contains a short overivew, starts you with basic basics, goes through most of the language with simple sentences and clear examples, and then ...
The fun part! You learn more of AppleScript by applying it to different programs to do useful things. Script Sherlock! Script your web browser, Eudora or Outlook, Fetch, FileMaker, Photoshop, write CGIs, make gif charts, and lots of other goodies.
This book should be read by anyone who wants to learn AppleScript and/or use it, as Cal Simone says in the preface, to empower your creative spirit!
(The other two books I liked less: AppleScript for Dummies--too many jokes and extraneous information make it hard to follow; AppleScript Applications--too oriented toward FaceSpan and away from general scripting.)
Rating: 2
Summary: Lots of examples, but not a good tutorial
Comment: I'm very unhappy with this book. I've done tons of scripting in many other languages and after reading this book, I still am unable to write an Applescript to do the simplest task. The first few chapters are for stupids and the rest of the book is all examples - many of which may not apply to you since they are about specific applications. Definitely look at this book in a bookstore before buying online to see if it will work for you or if it will be as useless as it has been to me.

Summary: Brief !
Comment: From my perspective this book is best described as 'brief'. I m new to AS but I believe my latter statement is qualified. The book identifies excellent topics, is very well written and easy to follow, but unfortunately lacks depth ( a puddle?)and adequte coverage. Saying this, it is a Quickstart Guide so ...
... Its a handy book to have but don t expect too much (get Santa to pay for it)
