If I had to point to one thing that I liked best, that would be the *extremely* focused examples in the back - there were many 10-15 line programs that did exactly what I wanted to try out.

A good book, but I came to it with a bit of Relational DB exp., from DB2 and Oracle usage a few years back, so my needs from this book were different from, say, a newbie...
