I spent quit a bit of time scanning thru both books.  They are both
excellent.  Goodman's book is more comprehensive but, occasionally,
reads more like a repetition of the Apple's reference manual.  Shafer's
book concentrates on HyperTalk and gives it a more detailed treatment
with lots of examples.  You can also send for a diskette with all the
code published in the book AND all the PD and Shareware code MENTIONED in
the book.  (I am waiting for it).

 I would buy both of them (I did) but if I HAD TO choose just
one, I would pick Shafer's.
