Great book for everyone who uses Mathematica

Two years ago I swallowed my pride and I purchased an earlier version of this book, "The Beginners Guide to Mathematica, Version 3". I say I swallowed my pride because I had been using Mathematica since 1989 and I did not think I needed to buy a beginner's guide. However, I did buy the book and it was great. While I was not a beginner, the book taught me a lot of neat things that perhaps I should have known, but didn't. When I saw Version 4 of the book was available I purchased it immediately. It is great. Much of the material is a repeat of the material in Version 3, but there are new chapters covering subjects such as importing and exporting data, image processing, and real-time graphics. The book is clearly written and the authors' humor is delightful. Hopefully, the electronic version of the book will soon be available. I recommend the book to everyone who uses Mathematica.
