To clarify: The book called "Excel 2002 VBA" is the good one. The one called
"Excel 2003 VBA" is the poorly remade one.

Beware of the 2003 edit though, it was a poor job, full of errors, and
actually made the book worse.

Do you mean the 2003 edition of "Excel 2002 VBA"? Or do you mean the
edition entitled "Excel 2003 VBA"?

The "Excel 2002 VBA" sold by amazon.com has a 2003 copyright. That
seems to be the only copyright year. Is that the bad one?


I didn't know there was a 2003 edition of the 2002 book. I presume I mean
the 2003 edition of the 2002 book , the one with 2002 in the title, but I
know that I recommend avoiding the version edited by Paul T. Kimmel , the
one with 2003 in the title, that is the one to avoid IMO.


A little off-topic....

How do you vet non-name-brand vendors of a book, whom amazon.com
points to? That is, sites that sound like companies, not individuals
(e.g. www_textbooksrus_com and a_book_place_4_u).

"Excel 2002 VBA" is available from a number of vendors(?) who are
allegedly offering new copies for as low as $7.50 -- much less than
amazon.com and less than many sites offering used copies.

I tend to be suspicious of vendors whose names I do not recognize.


Buying in this way always incurs a risk by its very nature, just as eBay
does. Happily, I have bought a couple of times, and I have never had a
problem personally, even when buying here in the UK from the States.
