From: winkler@Apple.COM (Dan Winkler)

As the author of the HyperTalk language and as an Apple employee, I am
going to refrain from endorsing or criticizing any particular HyperCard
book.  However, I will say that there are some very poor ones out there
that were thrown together in a matter of weeks and that are full of
inaccuracies and examples that are not even syntactically correct
(i.e.  they were never tried).  I feel there is a need for some
informed criticism of these books in forums like this.  I do not feel
that the reviews I have seen so far have been informed.  Folks, you
shouldn't post a message to thousands of people around the world
endorsing a book (or anything else) that you haven't thoroughly
studied.  I can't be the one to tell you that any particular book is
dog meat, but I desperately want you to figure it out on your own and
you haven't been doing too well so far.
