Good special-purpose book. Contains materials I have not found anywhere else---which is rare of VB books these days. Overall, I rate this book highly, with the following exception:
Pet Peeve: why does the web site's source code download so sloppy? Several of the VB projects are broken and they all unzip onto just ONE big messy directory. Also, there appear to be several versions of the same code (!) with the same exact file name(s) and different creation dates contained within the Zip!!!. Winzip prompts to overwrite many of it's own packaged files as they HAVE THE SAME FILE NAMES!!
It takes just a few minutes to organize the ZIP so it will unzip into several nicely laid out project directories (and not to mention again---but I guess I am---that several of the project files are broken anyway...)
