SourceSafe Book

I can give you the below links... but I cannot find any "books" on MS Visual SourceSafe. The below is an online library (please remove any spaces or hard returns from the link)and if you go all the way down to the books section, you can read chapters on visual basic advances and other sections. There's a lot there... but I don't know if it will meet your needs.

Good luck.

Here try this address http://www.provantage.com/scripts/go.dll/-s/fp_19960 it is for the visual sourcesafe v6 hope it is the right one!!!!

Here is what I have so far...

Format: Training - VHS Video
ISBN: 1400692016
Publisher: KeyStone Learning Systems
Pub. Date: February 2000

This is obviously not a book, however it may be along the lines of what you are looking for. You could call KeyStone (or email them) and find out if they have published any books on SourceSafe, or if they know a Publisher who has.

The next thing I have found may be better.

Format: Paperback, 247pp.
ISBN: 0789712334
Publisher: Que
Pub. Date: June 1997

Check http://www.barnesandnoble.com/ for more information on this book. One thing they did say about this book was "This book shows the reader not only how to program within the Visual SourceSafe environment, but also how to use its power to manage multiple Web sites."

I hope this helps.

There is a book out there called Essential SourceSafe. This book is Approx. 270
pages. It is in being written now, but most of the book is available for ($US): $49.95. There is a number to call or an order form. You can go to the web site at:

Hope it helps

I think MS is trying to make the move to the .Net series. I also found other Visual Basic titles under MS Press Books with search for the MS SourceSafe. Maybe the title changed.

Have you tried Blackwell's? A search of the BOB site (Blackwell's Online Bookstore) seems to indicate that the book "Web Management with Microsoft Visual SourceSafe" is NOT out of print, and that they can ship the book in approximately 2-4 weeks...
Go to the following site:

http://bookshop.blackwell.co.uk/cgi-bin/BOB2/scripts/home.jsp?source=CorpUS

Enter "visual sourcesafe" in the Quick Search filed, and click on "Search" to view the info. You can order the book on-line, or go to a Blackwell's retail store if there is one convenient to your location.

Why didn't you just ask the person in andswer number 8 to buy the biik fo ryou and ship it to you, and in return you will pay them for it. If you want i will do it for you. it is obvious they want to help you so be kind and ask A.#8 if they would dothat for you.

I just did a search on Powell's and Bookfinder and got:

I know that you have received a number of replies on this subject. I have developers here that are looking for the same. I run our MIS department and I am having a hard time finding it. But I did come across something thatis a lot better than a book. It is a training video on Microsoft Visual Source Safe. My developers used it and said it is great. I hope this helps you out. Here is the following link :

I have written a note to Steve Banick who co-authored the book with Chris Denschikoff asking him if he knows a source for purchasing the book.

And who knows? What author doesn't have a box of his own books sitting around from the publisher??? Will update as soon as I hear from him.

go to amazon.com and do a search on the title of your choice, if they dont have it you sign up for a used copy,you give them your payment info and when they get a used copy they will debit your credit card, and you get your book

You won't find one. Sorry...Microsoft won't even support SourceSafe because - i think they ate up a small company that was developing VSS, and they never took the time to make it better. You'll find some books, but nothing useful. I certainly don't miss the days of having to troubleshoot VSS - it's a nightmare. Good Luck!

Try this: http://www.harvestbooks.com

They do not have either one of these in stock, but they can conduct a free search for you to see if they can locate you a copy of either book I will list below. If it must be a book that is still in print, then there is no way this question can be answered.

SourceSafe was one of the subjects for the MCSD Windows Architecture exams. The book:
"MCSD: Windows Architecture I Study Guide" from Sybex, covers SourceSafe in detail in one of its chapters. You get other things that are not SourceSafe but it mayfill your need.

The WOSA exams were phased out, the books are no longer useful for exam takers but the concepts are still valid :)

A search in addall.com shows several places that can ship it to the UK (from Belgium, the US, Canada, etc)

Look at all the answers here!

This book mentioned earlier is available and shipping now:

I have trided(tried and failed)to find a good VSS book myself, but as you I'v found it almost inpossible.
On the other hand vill be VSS obsolete in an near future, then .NET studio is introduced, so don't waste too much of your time on VSS.

i have a Visual_source_safe e-book file, if you let me know your e-mail i'll send you.

mulasaud@hotmail.com

Let me know when you find the book, if you do.

I have a subscription to MSDN Library, and receive quarterly updates on CD or DVD for everything in MS program development including VSS. I once purchased a VB book and then found the same pages in the MSDN library. You should be able to get it inthe UK as it's published in different languages (English included), but there is no ISBN at this time.

jeez louise. for 6000 points no one has yet to find out the answer.

Bit of a long shot
But go to www.compman.co.uk and search for
ISBN number 0789712334 (assuming thats the book you want).
Then search the back list aswell and the book comes up.
Then you can get them to phone you.
