Avoid at all costs:
Applescript in a Nutshell, by Matt Neuberg (O'Reilly). It's not
that it's not probably a very good book, but I've looked at the
contents/excerpts on the website, and it would have frightened me

I picked it up now after mucking around with Applescript for over
a year, I'd get something out of it. When you're at the
FYI, Matt didn't write this book, Bruce W. Perry did. Matt wrote
"Applescript - The Definitive Guide". The second edition of which

harmony imposes compatibility upon the incongruous.
