I think the book David Spector refers to here is "Macintosh Basic", an
enormous book from Sybex.  I saw it in the WaldenBooks in Lexington last
week, and it looks both comprehensive and exhaustive.  The pages aren't
consecutively numbered (I think they were numbered by chapters), but it
felt like 300-400 pages.  It was priced at $24.95.  I'm waiting to see how
good the Microsoft documentation with Basic 2.0 is before I invest in a 
copy of the book.
