As a general Swing reference, this book is OK; where it excels is at covering the numerous important aspects of Swing theory and application. I was initially disappointed by the lack of coverage of layout managers, however the rest of the content has been extremely useful in helping me understand the key aspects of Swing GUI development.


To the authors: A nice addition to the text would be a spiral-bound quick-reference supplement containing the property tables you lay out so well (I particularly like the "is/get/set" indicators - they are especially helpful!)
