That would be terrific if it's true that Bill Briggs is writing an AS book.
(Why not ask him directly?) It would be bound to be clear, easy to follow,
well-structured progressively, perhaps aimed at beginners with no previous
scripting experience as well as others, by someone who has lived with AS for
years.
In the meantime, you might not know that there is a brand new book just
published by O'Reilly's - "AppleScript in a Nutshell", which is very
up-to-date : OS X as well as 9.1. It seems to be aimed at people who may
have done programming in other languages but are new to AppleScript. It
should be OK for bright beginners too, although it seems geared more towards
the "computer studies" market and is pretty dense reading. It might gain AS
a lot of new cohorts from those (unix folks?) attracted to OS X. I think
it's already available at amazon.com. Probably elsewhere as well. I think
there's ample room for two new books on AppleScript.
