I'd like to comment on the overall appearance of the book. First of all, I have
to say that I'm positively surprised by the thoroughness and quality of writing
of the author Richard Monson-Haefel. I find his book very instructive and
it makes for a decent lead-in to the EJB subject. The book is well organized
and every chapter builds on knowledge aquired in former chapters.
The content of the book notwithstanding, I have to give the bookbinding a huge
thumbs-down. Try to work with the book, make annotations, and leaf through the
chapters and not see any of the pages come off !
Please, please, please provide your books with a more durable backbinding.
If that is more expensive for you, I'm willing to pay more money for your
otherwise execellent books, okay ? The binding of the Enterprise JavaBeans book
is definitely unworthy of O'Reilly and Associates.
Best regards,
D. Fahrenholtz
