Comment Re:Doesn't IDA come with a manual? - No. (Score 1) 85

It comes with a help file which describes some of its API functions for scripting and describes some of its windows. What is in this book is not just a top to bottom overview of a very complex application but extensive documentation on areas such as plugin development and internal data structures which absolutely are not documented anywhere. even on the series of tubes we call the internet. The book is also focused towards how to actually accomplish real world tasks with the program, which you would never find in a regular manual.

FWIW, I am a professional reverse engineer and have been using IDA for many years and I can easily say this book is very useful and is very well done to boot.
