2.0 out of 5 stars Very Poor Editing or Printer Dropped The Ball, September 23, 2006
This review is from: Discovering Automator (Paperback)
The content of this book was not bad but the typesetting and editing were horrible. The examples often appeared to be in the wrong place. Several of the figures had type errors where the fonts would stack on top of each other. Some examples could not be read at all.

There were so many errors in the fonts that it was difficult to read. Since the book can be read in a single afternoon, I see no real reason the errors could not have been corrected before print. The problems are too obvious to miss.

1.0 out of 5 stars little info from this book . . ., January 12, 2007
This review is from: Discovering Automator (Paperback)
I was very disappointed with this book.
The typesetting was terrible; over printing - looked like bad css, in hardcopy!
The "help" was little; Automator is more intuitive than this book suggests.
AND, who cares about 70+ (80?) automator scripts for Microsoft products?
Fortunately, this was bought with a gift certificate and cost me nothing, don't
waste your money1

3.0 out of 5 stars Classic and Nice Review, August 24, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Discovering Automator (Paperback)
It is a nice review, covering all classic issues that automator has.
It is remarkable in terms of order and structure, but it has some printing problems that make graphics not entirely visible

Anyway , I would like to have more in-depth coverage of all new functions from Snow Leopard on, along with a method to outline our own workflows

No competitor if the only-hardcover edition while challenged for some nice books with Kindle Editions as well
