1.0 out of 5 stars Not worthy to buy, June 20, 2008

By	Kung-shing Chang (Taipei, Taiwan) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was cheated by the looking of preface. However there are too many graphics with a little explanations. How can you understand programming language like that? I do not recommand anyone to buy this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Visual Basic 2005, January 11, 2008

By	Shane N. Hoang "shaneqsssis" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 for Windows, Mobile, Web, and Office Applications: Complete (Shelly Casman Series) (Paperback)

Hi;

I'll give a zero star to the seller, because I bought this book as NEW and received an USED book. This is my very first time bought a book on line, and I'll not have the same trust to buy my next book online. I'd rather pay a little more at Border like I usually do.

Thank you
Shane
