in reply to Which Book is better?

Hello prince26121991,

I cannot comment on the book since I don't use Tk, but I can tell you that http://www.nbcindia.com/ is what you might call a "book retailer". Like I said in my other comment on this page, O'Reilly has some sort of a tie-up with Shroff publishers, the publishers of the book sold by "nbcindia.com". So, you can technically consider them equivalent/same as the one printed and sold by O'Reilly.

      Sure, but you can buy at that price only in the Indian subcontinent. :-)

      About your update, this is where NBCIndia's role as a retailer plays - you see, books at local prices are sold by Shroff publishers, but NBC(as a distributor or retailer) is free to fix prices or jack them up on imported books. And, I'm not sure if *that* book is worth the price. :-)

        This "book" is one magnitude more expensive than PBP and listed on top of "most popular" searches for Perl.

        I wouldn't be surprised if many interviews in India are based on this...

        • "What's the answer for question 5.2 on page 194 of THE book?"

        • "Second edition, sir?"

        And I wouldn't be surprised to recognize some FAQ from SOPW.

        Would be interesting to have a look into this book, a review could be even nicer. :)

        Tried googling yesterday without success...

        Cheers Rolf
