Does someone here have the above book? And is it worth to buy it?

I see that there are 2 versions of it, what is the difference between them except for the price?

Not the same. That book (atleast from what i read) is a book that teaches c++ basics and graphics stuff. it has nothing to do with DarkGDK(that i saw)

HST:

I have never heard of it, but if you look at the title of the pages one comes with a dvd rom and the other is just the book.

I have seen that, but another thing is, one book has 600 pages the other one has 700 pages that's quite a difference.
And i think it has to do with DarkGDK or am i wrong?
Look here at the bottom of the page: http://gdk.thegamecreators.com/

It is possible those extra pages have somehting to do with the cd? idk. Although. If you follow the link on the page you linked to above me on amazon they have that 703 page one for (Euro Sign)66.86
Sorry. I'm on a American keyboard although it doesn't say anything about a cd. Idk your choice.
