Yes, that's a good book, but not the place one would expect to find the
answer to a wxPython question.  I'm surprised you didn't find anything
searching on the mailing list archive - that's usually the best bet.

Places I look for wxPyton info:
- wxPython demo
- wxWindows docs
- mailing list archives
- Win32 Platform SDK on MSDN
