I've got both.  PLG is good.  LGP is not.  Prima made a mess out of the
book.  A different publisher may have done it better, but I warn you now
that the included CD is even more useless than an AOL CD - at least those
look cool sitting on your case all melted.  ;)

I am sorry to say that John didn't put a CD in his book, but if you found
this mailing list you should also be able to find the source code for his
book at its No Starch page..
