1.0 out of 5 stars Yes, it's that bad, June 13, 2002

By 

Ed (Pittsburgh, PA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Jump Start the HP 48G/GX Calculator (Paperback)

The book claims to be "known to be far superior to the generic manual provided." It isn't. As noted in previous reviews, the examples are worthless if you've every heard of, say, an if-then-else statement. If you know the basics of RPL, you won't need this book. If you don't, read the manual that came with your HP. I should also note that reviewing a book that you admit to not having read is rather bad form. And yes, it does claim to be what the reviewer from Loiza believed. Oh, and racial stereotyping, also, is bad form. Have a nice day, hopefully with a better book. (Or, hell, just go to your neighborhood friendly search engine and type in "hp48g" and you'll get a ridiculous amount of resources, many of which are utterly excellent.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Not for programming., November 21, 2001

Just wondering why 11 of 13 people found Pablo's review helpful?

From the title and description of this book, it does not claim to be a HP48 programming book.

There are plenty of those, this is obviously a better user manual.

No offence to Pablo, but giving a book a poor rating because it does not meet criteria that it never claims to, is really bad form.

I have'nt read it (yet), but my rating is an attempt to help rectify the poor first reader review.
