1.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Candidate for the Nazi Book Burning Fires, October 27, 2000

This review is from: Learn Graphics File Programming With Delphi 3 (Paperback)

This is BY FAR the worst computer related book I have ever touched. I seriously doubt that the Author even knew what he was doing when he decided to write this book. I purchased this book a while ago, and after trying to create working examples from his bug ridden code I became so distraught that I used this utterly worthless book for firewood. I have never seen anything like this before. Even books written by college professors for use with only thier classes have less errors and those books often have several pages missing and thousands of typos. So, if you are even considering buying this book, then do everyone a favor and DO NOT buy this failer of a book. Hopefully the author will lose money by writting books and as a result be forced to give up writing, which will be beneficial for everyone.

1.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely terrible book, April 2, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Learn Graphics File Programming With Delphi 3 (Paperback)

I bought this book only because I need to try to support the Kodak FlashPix format, and this book happened to have some code related to that format. Unfortunately for me, the code doesn't work. It constantly returns errors and cannot even open the FlashPix pictures that came with the book on the CD. This is the second (and last) worthless computer book I've bought from Wordware. I contacted then to see if maybe there had been an update to fix the bad code on the CD, and they told me they don't support the code contained in their books and that I would have to contact the author.

One star is the lowest rating Amazon has, so that's what I entered... but it deserves no stars and a whole mess of lemons because that's what this book is.

1.0 out of 5 stars This book seems totally unedited!, December 2, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Learn Graphics File Programming With Delphi 3 (Paperback)

Wordware apparently never applied any editorial skills to what was obviously a poor first draft of what could have been a good book. The text is often disconnected to illustrative code, the code on the CDROM misses some chapters and is not in the correct directories. It is a roll of the dice trying to find the code you are interested in. A large number of the formats covered are of no interest, and for the money it is a puny book. Nobody should buy this book.
