This review is from: Mac OS X Technology Guide to Automator (Paperback)

Having just installed Tiger and eager to take advantage of Automator, this was the only book I could find on Automator that is available now, so I bought it. I must say that it is a very good book. The author did a great job of explaining how to use Automator. I'm not a programmer, but I do know a little AppleScript, so the section on developing custom Actions also seems very appealing. I definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in learning Automator.
