I purchased this book on a 1-day sale when it was being offered for free.  Based on what I paid (nothing), it was somewhat worthwhile.  I have a Windows RT tablet and was excited to discover some of the best apps available. I did uncover a couple that I was not already aware of and found compelling enough to download, so I definitely got my money's worth.  However, unless the author commits to regular updates, the value of this book is extremely limited as it was written when the Windows 8 app store was in its infancy (it still is, but the number of available apps has likely already increased significantly).If you have $1 to spare, or if you are completely new to Windows 8 apps, the book is fun to browse and you might find something new & worthwhile.  Otherwise, your best bet may be to browse/search the web for posts like "Best Windows 8 appS", which may yield more app choices, including those that have been released after this book was published.
