An Indispensable Desk Reference
Scott Love, Steve Lane and Bob Bowers are leaders of the FileMaker Pro community and in this book they generously share their expertise. The book not only lists all the function and script in a esay to find format, it also includes many custom functions which one usually pays seasoned developer to write. The chapter on XML custom function itself is already worth the price. Their other book, Special Edition Using FileMaker 8, is just simply the best. Filled with extensive techinques and tricks, all clearly written and explained, you just couldn't ask for a better book about FileMaker Pro 8.
More functions and script examples please 
. Good book but it does not include enough functions and scripts examples.
One of the few "indispensable" Filemaker bnooks
0. In my library I have 25+ Filemaker books dating back to Filemaker 2. A very few of them are tattered, bookmarked and dogeared and sit withing arms reach of my computer. "Scriptology" is one of them, as is "Filemaker Pro 5. 5 Techniques for Developers". "FileMaker 8 Functions and Scripts Desk Reference" joins these. I've only had it a few weeks and it is starting to take on the patina of those stalwarts. A truly useful reference - dare I say "essential"?.
