did anyone else get the cd-rom for it to work, i put it in and it kept bringing up my cd writing software... ?

i skimmed through the book at a bookstore didn't buy it but it was pretty good

I couldn't get the cd to work either, but my friend said that it opened on his mac.

How much does it cost?

The reason that the cd does not work is because it contains an image file, this may be why it keeps bringing up your cd writer software. The people who made the cd either purposely burned the image onto the cd to hassle us or made a error in burning the image to cd. There are various programs out that can read the contents of the image or you can use burning software such as nero to burn the image onto another cd properly. Hope this helps.

The book and cd run for $24.95

get Daemon tools, a good fake-cd prog :)
