Friends of Ed - Great Online Bookstore

For years I have been searching for the perfect Flash book. I have bought and studied over a dozen of them, but never found a book I could really learn Flash from. The textbook my college uses for its beginning Flash course is Foundation Flash 8, by Bhangal and Besley. The book is published by Friends of Ed, which is part of the Apress organization.

The website is www.friendsofed.com .
It's a very interesting site with lots of titles I would love to own. At this point I should issue this disclaimer: "I not an employee of Friends of Ed, or affiliated with it in any way. No person I know is an employee of this company. I will receive no compensation or free merchandise, or anything else, for this blog. This blog should not be construed as an advertisement or recommendation for Friends of Ed. It is for informational purposes only."
