The examples in the Grayson book were written using  an older version
of Pmw probably 0_8_1. NoteBookR ceased to exist in 0_8_3 and you are
using 0_8_4. There were some fundamentat changes to the way Notebook
works.  

The following code will work.



    def createNotebook(self):
# changed Pmw.NoteBookR to Pmw.NoteBook
        self.notebook = self.createcomponent('notebook', (), None,
                                         Pmw.NoteBook,
(self.interior(),),)
        self.notebook.pack(side=TOP, expand=YES, fill=BOTH, padx=5,
pady=5)
        self.formwidth = self.root.winfo_width()
        
    def addPage(self, dictionary):
        table, top, anchor, incr, fields, \
            title, keylist = dataDict[dictionary]
# there is no label attribute anymore but a tab_text attribute
#(optional)
#        self.notebook.add(table,label=title)
        self.notebook.add(table, tab_text=title)
        self.current = 0
        ypos = top
        idx = 0
        for label, field, width, proc, valid, nonblank in fields:
            pstr = 'Label(self.notebook.page(table),'\
                   'text="%s").place(relx=%f,rely=%f, anchor=E)\n' % \
                   (label, (anchor-0.02), ypos)
            if idx == keylist[0]:
# self.notebook.page(table).interior() to self.notebook.page(table)
# did this in 3 places
                pstr = '%sself.%s=Entry(self.notebook.page(table),'\
                       'text="",insertbackground="yellow",
width=%d+1,'\
                       'highlightthickness=1)\n' % (pstr,field,width)
            else:
                pstr = '%sself.%s=Entry(self.notebook.page(table),'\
                       'text="", insertbackground="yellow",'\
                       'width=%d+1)\n' % (pstr,field,width)
            pstr = '%sself.%s.place(relx=%f, rely=%f,'\
                   'anchor=W)\n' % (pstr,field,(anchor+0.02),ypos)
            exec '%sself.%sV=StringVar()\n'\
                 'self.%s["textvariable"] = self.%sV' % \
                                          (pstr,field,field,field)
        ypos = ypos + incr
        idx = idx + 1
