I am fortunate to live within a few miles of Nerdbooks, and always look forward to trips that take me there. I am never disappointed, they always have a wonderful selection that you can actually browse through, and today's trip was no different. Since I mentioned them, I'll point out that they always sell at a substantial discount, and since most of their business is web based they operate out of a warehouse, but if you don't mind a warehouse, which I don't, it is a great place to visit. I am in no way related to, etc, etc. I am a happy customer.
All that having been said, they had several new books (published 2010) , and I bought three. I almost didn't buy the one by Bill Cheeseman, because as I scanned through it, it didn't have as many images as the others. Boy, what a huge mistake that would have been. When I got home, I started reading "Cocoa Recipes for Mac OS X", and within a few pages, I had absolutely fallen in love with this book, and with Bill Cheeseman's gifted writing style. I always use more images than text when documenting anything, because I tend to write poorly. I never take the time to proofread, and to this day when I type, I look at the keyboard instead the screen. Never have mastered this process. So I tend to look for books that have more images, because that is the style I am used to... In my case, I figure that if I do screen capture with minimal text I minimize the typos I introduce in my un-proofed documents. I personally buy tons of books, most of the time I will read parts of them, and at some point something is not explained well enough to suit me, and they end up becoming a reference. I always know when this is going to happen, because I start jumping ahead. I think because Bill Cheeseman is in fact so gifted at writing, and explains things so well, this is going to be a really great book. I am very excited to have found it, and if you hadn't asked the question, I would have not made the trip to Nerdbooks, and would have missed this book. Boy, talk about the "Butterfly Effect".
