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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Yes, it's that bad
The book claims to be "known to be far superior to the generic manual provided." It isn't.

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.

(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.)

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