Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

If you have said "yes" to any of the above, you have the right book in your hands. It is the first choice of both professionals and learners alike and is the most frequently recommended book on the Director User Internet forums for understanding the black art of OOPS and taking Lingo programming to areas the manuals never reach.
THis second edition covers two major advances in Director which have opened up new vistas to users. Behaviours are easy to conceptualize, and allow those who have very little programming knowledge to design an object-orientated programming (OOP) style. The new Application programming Interface (API) introduced along with a set of Net Xtras has transormed Director from aclosed application into an open system, allowing it to become the new killer app for thr Internet and the Web.
What readers said about the first edition...
· ...for my money it's the best Director book in the market.
· Lingo Sorcery is amazing. It's not a "how to" book per se, (though it has lots of how to in it) it's a "how to" book with a lot of accompanying thoughts on how most effectively to think about OOP and multimedia design from an organic point of view.
· In my opinion, Lingo Sorcery is easily the best info on OOP for Lingo.
· I am finally starting to get the hang of OOPing, but I heard Peter's book is awesome.
· See some crazy (but interesting) examples of ways to use OOP with Lingo, read Lingo Sorcery by Peter Small. It's amazing. It will really get your creative juices flowing.

This second edition covers two major advances in Director which have opened up new vistas to users. Behaviors are easy to conceptualize, and allow those who have very little programming knowledge to design in an object-oriented programming (OOP) style. The new Application Programming Interface (API) introduced along with a set of Net Xtras has transformed Director from a closed application into an open system-allowing it to become the new killer app for the Internet and the Web.
Peter Small has again employed his unique powers of explanation and analogy to help Director users who have no technical, programming background, to think and understand Lingo's OOP functionality, expanding the envelope of Director even beyond the visions of its creators.
