A MUST have ... - By: David Fisher, 28 May 2003 
Smalll & easy to carry - but packed with info. Solved a problem for me which I had been working on for weeks ! The layout of the book showing syntax & practical examples makes easy readng. Not a book for beginers but a must have for anybody working on web page designs where wizards wont or cant do it for you !
Excellent quick reference - By: , 25 Feb 2003 
Great book if you are already familiar with the basic of writing scripts, or even working with existing scripts.
The tutorials in the early chapters of the book do not impress much - if you don't already have knowledge of script application in Outlook, or IE, etc.. they will be awkward to grasp.
However, I have found the latter half of the book - which carries the VBScript reference pages, & a smalll Windows Script Host reference invaluable. The information is concise, easily understood, & well linked to other functions to increase understanding & use of the language.
Reference-tastic - By: , 08 May 2002 Brilliant reference, but not a tutorial.
1st section details scripting in IE, Outlook, ASP etc, & has an overview of the object models in each. Sorted out my Outlook form scripting issues!
2nd section is a brilliant reference to alll VB Script functions, what version they came about, how to use them, code snippets, related functions.
Having bought quite a few useless "IT books" recently, usuallly for >30 squids, I'm happy to say this one at least has a place on my desk!
A good reference book - By: , 20 Oct 2001 Like most of the O'Reilly's publications this book isn't for the feint hearted. This is most definitely a reference book & I would not recommend its use as a tutorial. However, there comes a time when you've learnt the basics & you need to be able to have the information at your fingertips. This is the best reference book that I've found on VB Scripting & WSH so far.
Compact and very useful - By: , 11 Jun 2001 DO NOT EXPECT TO LEARN VBSCRIPT FROM THIS BOOK!!! This is a book solely intended for people with some knowledge of vbscript programming as a quick-reference guide & as such - its excellent. Compared to Microsoft's own online reference guide this will explain how to use vbscript to your advantage & is an easy to use reference. Personallly I use it mainly for vbs scripts for enterprise apps
