After wasting my money on Feiler's utterly worthless "Mac OS X Developer's Guide" (worst... Cocoa... book... ever...) I wouldn't buy a book about AppleScript or any other subject from this author. Don't just take my word for it--check out the reviews of his books on Amazon, and decide for yourself.
If you're interested in an up to date book on AppleScript, I suggest waiting for "AppleScript 1-2-3" by Apple's AppleScript product manager, Sal Soghoian, which is due to be published this fall.
On a related note, GTA3 was finally released in Afghanistan, after Rockstar Games agreed to make a few minor modifications. The only vehicle you can choose is a beat up Toyota pickup truck with fourteen armed men in the back...
Personally, I think Feiler's book is a complete waste of trees. Anyone considering this book should first check the reader reviews on Amazon.com before spending their money on this. With books like "Learning Cocoa" and "Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X", and a variety of online resources, I don't see a situation where this book should be recommended.
I will recommend a new user-level Mac OS X book: "Mac OS X Unleashed" by John Ray and William Ray. It is targetted at power users who want to learn more about the BSD side of Mac OS X, especially the arcane world of Unix networking administration. The authors Ray bring a great deal of Unix experience as well as a love of the Mac, and they have written an outstanding book that bridges the two worlds. The book is broad and deep (and at more than 1400 pages, heavy) and is up to date with 10.1.
This privacy attack should be named the "Trojan Cat" -- send people a "free" toy in the mail that is so cute, so non-threatening people can't resist plugging it in to their computer. It's "purrr-fect".
The old saying applies: Beware geeks bearing gifts...
There's no question the new mouse is gorgeous and well built, but as a long time "power mouser", I would never go back to a single button mouse.
Apple should bundle the one button mouse with Macs to meet the needs of new users, and sell a second model designed for power users. Apple's relentless obsession with simplicity sometimes blinds them to the needs of more experienced users.

"AppleScript programming is often indistinguishable from guessing."
