Michael Cummings did a book "Visual FoxPro 9 for Developers" that was available on Lulu, but isn't anymore.

He can be contacted via his e-mail listed in the members area. Perhaps he could get the guy a copy somehow.

Strange thing is that there is another VFP on Lulu that uses the exact same cover, but has a different title and author:

>How would anyone who has been using FoxPro for many years respond to a person who asked the below question and who has no knowledge of VFP and wants you to teach him all about Visual FoxPro in 5 minutes? I want to give him as much useful information as I can, but I am perplexed as to how to approach this.
