Got my friend to buy it. Thanks for the discount, Kale!

I hope you update the book for PB 4.30. I always recommend this book to my friends.

Kale, what version of PB does your book cover?

Mistrel · Post by **Mistrel** » Thu Nov 20, 2008 3:35 am

The book covers PureBasic 4.0. The only new topics it does not cover are the new libraries introduced since then, the revised commands (warnings are generated, but they will still compile) and the .i data type.

If it demonstrates anything from the OnError library some of those may fail since some commands were removed.

It's still a good book. I would only have discouraged people if it was based off of PB 3 instead 4.

Include a 4.30 Ogre lib add on... This should spice up the offer...

How can he do this when the library isn't even finalized?

Is this offer available for the eBook version?

I already have the physical book, but will get the eBook version if this offer applies to it too.

I'm just trying to figure out if the $27.17 price is post or pre discount, because I don't remember the original price.
Thanx ...

I believe that is after the discount which would make the original price somewhere near $34.
