The HyperCard Users Guide was good, but it was after my uncle loaned me his copies of "The Complete Hypercard Handbook"[0] and "HyperTalk 2.0 The Book" that I really got obsessed. I was 9 years old and reading these thick tomes cover to cover, and building test stacks for each obscure function. The code examples were full of jokes that were way over my head but I loved it nontheless (or maybe that's part of why I did love it).

I'm very interested in Hypercard and digging up some of these old ideas (and perhaps applying them to the web?)

Between these 2 books, which one would you recommend as research?

So much nostalgia. I had that book too when I was a kid.
