[MacPerl] Applescript books - opinions please

[Awrobinson@aol.com]

I checked Amazon.com for books on Applescript. Alas, the highly recommended
and highly rated Goodman book is out of print. The 4 books Amazon.com can get
their hands on are

    Applescript Applications: Building Applications with Facespan 
    and Applescript by John Schettino, et al

    Applescript Finder Guide from Apple

    Applescript Scripting Additions from Apple

    Applescript for Dummies by Tom Trinko

The Schettino book has been noted on the list as good but oriented to
Facespan. Does anyone have any opinions to offer on the other three? The idea
of the Dummies book appeals because while I'm decent at Unix scripting
languages, my glimpses of Applescript have looked completely foreign. Does
that book really start simple enough and does it go far enough to make it
useful? Are the Apple books any good other than as a reference?

TIA...
