 Practically indespensible! July 19, 2003
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I found this book to be well written and overflowing with useful information and example scripts for InDesign version 2. As a scripting newbie, I have found it easy to understand and implement the samples in this book, and to extend them to fulfill my scripting needs. As well, it provides very useful general scripting knowledge about the Finder and AppleScript as a whole.
I have reserved one star for the next edition, which will hopefully remedy the ironically poor presentation and binding of the book (Mine is already dog-eared and battered after two weeks! A testament to its indespensibility - I have not let it out of my sight and carry it everywhere with me in my bag.). Hopefully a smart and wealthy publisher will pick up this book - which is without a doubt the best available on the subject. Thanks Shirley!
