I bought this book, hoping to find a tutorial approach. The book claims to have 'working code examples on disk', with 'hundreds of code examples'. Note that each of these code examples is around 10 lines.

While these two claims are true, the buyer should be aware that this is not intended to be a tutorial book, more a reference. It is a reference of exactly how to write the syntax of every WordBasic language element. Once you know the command you want to use, and what you want to use it for, this book will tell you the setup and exact syntax to use that command. For this purpose, it is excellent.

This book is not intended to be a guide or tutorial for what commands you should use, and it is not useful for that purpose.
