   Howdy! Holger,   
      
   IDG, the Printer of the book, made the CD and had it inside of a clear   
   plastic envelope/sleeve glued inside the back cover of their book.   
      
   There was a Paper Label over the Pull Tab used to open the envelope,   
   and it hadn't been torn, so that is why I 'think' the CD was unused.   
      
   1330 is the last page number in the book.   
   On the back cover it was priced at $89.99 USA, $124.99 Canada and   
   (British Pound Symbol)74.99 UK Incl. VAT.   
      
   I think $1 USD was a good enuf price for the book published in 1997.
