[ALLY] REBOL the Official Guide
[1/21] from: ptretter:charter at: 3-Aug-2000 20:03
I just want to urge everyone who is serious about learning REBOL to buy the
book "REBOL - The Official Guide". I dont work for REBOL or anyway profit
from this book. However, I know many people on these lists have had great
benefits from RT products whether beta or not. Carl and his staff have
worked very hard to create a great product and I have heard great things
about the book. I myself have already ordered and await anxiously for
arrival. I also want to thank all of you for your help and contribution to
the lists. Amazon, is asking for reviews so if you have recieved the book
Im sure you will post great things about the book. Have fun everyone!

Hi,
I want to make your words mine. I think Rebol just a great product and an
excelent language to start programming. Carl and his team have done a real
great job!
I ordered my copy of REBOL Official Guide just yesterday at Amazon books by
less than US$ 28 and I'm anxious to put my hands on it!
Unfortunatelly in my country, Brazil, I have not found yet other people that
program with REBOL to exchange some experience.
I also would like to make an invitation to the people in this group that
speaks Portuguese :-) to join me and help me build a Portuguese web site
dedicated to REBOL.
Greetings

I got my book today and wow is it packed. Totally awesome! Much better
than I expected. By the way Carl thanks us all for our participation in
this great list. Get the Book - you will be glad you did.

He got it from us, Elan. We're sending him a CD and have checked the books
in stock; they all seem to have CDs but obviously McGraw-Hill's book
manufacturer (and I know who it is and they are in my experience not
perfect<g>) was not perfect. Anyway, we doing a closer inspection before
books go out now.

After reading about it for days on this list (and getting increasingly
envious), today I finally received my copy of Rebol: The Official Guide,
the limited edition Carl Sassenrath-signed tip sheet. The CD was in the
back, as expected, and works very well.
Thanks Ralph and all the folks at Alexander Press who were responsible for
getting this book into my hands (it's a hefty thing!)
Thanks to all the folks at RebolPress for putting it all together!
Thanks Elan and John for distilling the facts into concrete examples and
explanations!
Thanks Carl and all the folks at REBOL Technologies for manifesting your
inner REBOLs!

Here here.
Received mine this morning (Sydney time). With excitement of receiving my
first internet order from America, I opened the box, flipped some pages and
found a very nice book as expected.

Has anyone in Europe already received the book? I'm just being curious
and yes, I haven't yet... Hopefully it'll come soon :)
Yours,

I have no idea about that, but my copy just arrived yesterday in New
Zealand. So be friends with your local technical book shop, and ask them.
:-)
Now I just have to get my money for the book to arrive more quickly! :-)

Phil, I ordered mine over the Rebol press site with the cheapest shipping
option and it came to ~37UKP. Takes a while to come through though ...
cheers, john

Hi Phil,
Finally, a question I can answer, because its completely non-
technical. I strolled into Blackwell's last week and there it was
sitting an the shelf. Surely it can't be that easy, I thought, but
it was. Its about £27 - not bad considering that its pretty hefty.
Hope that helps :-)

Finally got my copy. It's nice to see my name in it. That's now the second
book my name is in. :-)
Just a note to Elan, if there's a second edition, the two lists of name on
page xvi need to be swapped.

It really is pretty fitting, though, you know. RT's motto is

Yes. In which case, Elan will have to rearrange the text before each block
of names. :-) Otherwise I'll be demanding my share of the hot tubs! :-D

Did you get yours locally or directly from Rebolpress?
I see that flyingpig have it and at a price much less than
if purchased from overseas. No book reviews there though.

I ordered mine locally, from the Dymocks shop in Napier, less than five
minutes walk from my house.

Thanks for the tip. I found it in Dymocks in Lambton Quay,
and purchased it today.
