I tend to buy a lot of books! Just ask my wife. Two favorite subjects are computer programming and music. I find that every book has value - sometimes because it makes you think and conclude how you like to do things and why. Just because someone publishes a book does not make it a "bible". If a book has one concept that is of value to you it is a good purchase.

The nice thing about VFP books is there are not many so it is easy to have one of each in your library. Not everyone can afford to own all the VFP books. I think I have just about every dBase through Fox book ever published.

>After receiving and reading Fundementals, I realized I had hit the point in assembling a VFP library that I get to with a lot of personal libraries. Overlap. There were only small sections of Fundementals that covered ground not touched by M. Bazian's Using..., still a good book and worth having on the shelf. No doubt about that.
