It's an OK book. It is definitely showing its age at this point, especially with the new interface. I could in no way estimate it to be worth $181.56, though, where they came up with that figure is a mystery... I'd sell you mine for the $45, plus shipping, and including the CD... *heh*.

I see Erick around the net from time to time. He may have some author's copies he could sell.

I know that a book exists by Erick Tejkowski called REALbasic for Dummies, but it appears that it is out-of-print and that even used copies that are described only as "Acceptable" are being sold for $45.00 or more (much more).

Abebooks.com, for example, lists three copies as presently available:

one for $45.45 plus shipping without the CD,

one for $110.70 plus shipping in "Very Good" condition (although it doesn't say whether or not the CD is included), and

one for $181.56 plus shipping (in non-designated condition and it doesn't say whether the CD is included).

Two Questions:

(1) What is so special about the book that it commands such a high price?

(2) Is it really worth the investment?
