If you had been at WWDC 2003, you might have been amazed to see the
overflow
standing-room-only attendance at the AppleScript sessions.
Even so, the market for the book is still quite limited; how many
people own computers, and of those, how many use Macintosh computers,
and out of those how many use applescript, and out of those, how many
write applscripts?
That is why I consider it a limited market. It's not like it's going
to sell anything like what David Weber or Harry Turtledove sell.
I think O'Reilly is to be commended for filling this gap and taking
the gamble
on the size of the market for it.
I fully agree with you there.
I just received it in the mail, so I know what I'm going to do during
the next few days...
