None that I've ever located. A quick search today on Amazon indicates that
one may be one coming out this December ("AppleScript Studio Programming for
the Absolute Beginner"). But I won't be holding my breath.
A couple of years ago, I saw a pre-release ad for "Absolute AppleScript
Studio." I asked the publisher about it at last year's OSCON (O'Reilly Open
Source Convention) here in Portland. He stated that he'd gone through three
authors who'd begun writing then dropped out of the project. He indicated
that he'd still love to publish a book on Studio, if he could find a capable
author. (For those with lots of faith, you can still ask to be notified when
this one becomes available at Powells.com.)
There's one spurious listing at Powells.com for "AppleScript Studio: The
Definitive Guide" by Matt Neuberg. (One could wish, but I've seen Matt on
another list say that writing a Studio book isn't financially viable, since
the number of potential buyers is too small.) This non-existent product was
created, no doubt, by the accidental insertion of the word "Studio" into the
title of Matt's real book.
FWIW, there appears to be an AppleScript Studio training CD-ROM available
from Amazon, though I'm baffled by the description that says it contains
"101 pages."
