No book reviews there though. I think it's great! :-) Andrew Martin ICQ: 26227169 http://members.xoom.com/AndrewMartin/ -><-

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.

No disrespect intended, but having found the book for $31.89 with no shipping (at ecampus) I don't think the tip sheet is worth the extra $13.60. On a side note, it seems that there are two other Rebol books out there as well.

[REBOL] REBOL: THE OFFICIAL GUIDE Re:(2)
REBOL Press Online specifically held off offering this book until it was at the printer because of the confusion that publication delays cause. (Book release dates are something like software release dates. ) We now have a firm shipping date from the printer and the first books will go to our distributor to fill pre-publication orders. Don't buy it from strangers! -- Danny Ramsey, Publisher, REBOL Press The Official Source for REBOL Books http://www.REBOLpress.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >REBOL: THE OFFICIAL GUIDE, the first commercial book about >the REBOL language, is now at the printers!
