Here's the lowdown...

VFP3 Codebook is the original version of Codebook by Alan Griver of Flash Creative Management.

In our VFP Codebook for Mere Mortals framework, we have taken the original Codebook classes, debugged, documented and enhanced them. In addition, we have added many new classes of our own.

Based on this, and in order to maintain backward compatibility, we redistribute some of the code/classes from the original VFP3 Codebook. For licensing purposes, we distribute a copy of the original framework / book / CD at a reduced rate to those developers who do not already own a copy.

Here's how the VFP Codebook for Mere Mortals pricing breaks down:
$349 for individual developers
$499 for a multi-developer site license

Add $26 (includes shipping and handling) if you do not already own a copy of the original VFP3 Codebook.

This also 6 updates over a 12 month period, 30 days free support, an extensive Developer's Guide and a new sample application.

If you have any other questions, let me know.
