2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, November 27, 1999
By 
Philippe Remy (Newport, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself More Visual Basic 6 in 21 Days (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
The book suffers from quite a few errors: I found quite a few instances of wrong references to illustrations in the book (The illustrations referred to in the text are not in any way related to the text itself). This is very unfortunate: trying to learn a new programming language is already hard enough without the additional confusion caused by these mismatches.

1.0 out of 5 stars A pathetic excuse for a manual, October 15, 1999
This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself More Visual Basic 6 in 21 Days (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
I have to absolutely agree with the other reader reviews here. THis is absolutely the very worst book of its kind that I've ever tried to use. Anyone who buys this book is simply asking for unnecessary headaches. And to the author, Lowell Mauer, if you're reading this, please oh please consider another line of work.

1.0 out of 5 stars aaarrrrggghhh gag eich rckl rckl, March 19, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself More Visual Basic 6 in 21 Days (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
this could possibly be the worst book I have ever read. letters and numbers printed randomly for several hundred pages would have been more informative than this book. i would rather eat a rotten egg off of some spoiled beef tainted with mad cow disease than read this book.
