When you get one of the Guidebooks, you get both the printed copy AND a CD or DVD with the same thing as Mathematica notebooks. The latter come in two versions, one already evaluated (some B I G notebooks!) and another unevaluated. My experience is that I like having both forms. For extended reading, I much prefer to heft the printed volume. For quick reference or trying things myself, of course, the notebook form is more useful. P.S. Regarding Steven Hatton's orignal posting about multi-volume discount: I haven't seen any, either at the publisher's site springeronline.com or elsewhere. Actually, given the size of the books, the per-volume price is not out of line. What's more, with each volume, the accompanying electronic form includes unevaluated notebooks from the other 3 volumes.
