Good lord man, must you be so obtuse?

I was merely asking if one was better. If you can't understand that some 
reference material is of better quality, contains superior examples or 
includes more engaging sections on rationale/design then I would much 
rather you say that they are all equal or say nothing at all rather than 
imply that I beleive there to be multiple standards.

No, one comes either as a book for $175 OR as a PDF for $18. The other 
is only available as a book for £34.00.

I was wondering why/how they can get away with $175...

You know what forget it, it isn't that important.
