Hello Walter.

Not that fast lady :)... What are the chances that I'll find something in there I could not find on the internet even faster and of better quality ?

Actually, I think that the chances are pretty good < s >. I know that our first book shipped with a chm that was searchable. As far as the quality goes, when it comes to getting free advice on the net, it is pretty much a crap shoot. For every gem you find, there is a lot of garbage to wade through. JMHO < s >.

Also, lets say, that I could save two hours of work with one thing out a VFP book. What about the time I need to read the entire book ?

I have never had to read a book from cover to cover to find what I need to solve a particular problem < s >. I can search the electronic version and zero in on what I need in a matter of minutes. I can also tell you that when we wrote KiloFox and MegaFox, the format was intentionally designed to help people quickly find solutions for specific problems. Each section begins with the title "How do i.....?"

What about the time to order that book (I'm not even sure I can order them in such way that they are delivered at my door).

I would imagine that when you buy a book from Whil, the e-book is available for download fairly quickly < s >.


I NEED MY INFO RIGHT NOW.

Is there some reason that you are yelling at me? I certainly have a right to my opinion. Just because it happens to be different from yours, this is no reason for you to start yelling at me.
