OK, another data point.  At my local B.Dalton the two books (Apple's
ResEdit Reference and Alley & Strange's ResEdit Complete) both come
with a ResEdit 2.1 disk and both cost the same, $29.95.

Apparently there is variation, either by dealer or by part of the
country, on whether Apple's ResEdit book comes with or without a disk.
Perhaps some dealers have both.  Perhaps they released it one way or
the other, then changed their minds.  The disk, when present, adds an
extra $15 to the cost.
