To get a feel for the book and see how a gun-totin' PI pistol-whipped (with a water pistol) his publisher, forcing them to bite the bullet and use his hard-boiled cover design, check out author Derek Pell's article Take Cover! The True Crime Story Behind the Controversial Cover for "Shoot to Thrill".

Hot Title: Sams Teach Yourself iPhone Application Development in 24 Hours

Sams Teach Yourself iPhone Application Development in 24 Hours is a clear, easy-to-understand tutorial for developers who want to write software for today's hottest market: iPhone, iTouch, and App Store. It will help beginning iPhone and mobile developers gain true mastery so you can construct virtually any iPhone application.

Sam's Teach yourself iPhone Application Programming in 24 Hours is without a doubt the best book on the subject that I have read so far. As a high-level instructor myself, it is easy to assume that someone new to a subject can just 'assume' something that the instructor takes for granted. The authors' attention to detail is nothing short of incredible... — Mark Fitzgerald
