Summary: Finally! A comprehensive book on XML!!!!
Review: What a relief! This has been one of the most didactically written technical book I have ever read. Well done!
This is definately a reference I will be refering to as it is up-to-date and very complete. For example, Web Services, XFLT, SVG...Buy this book if you need a desktop reference on XML. You won't regret it!

Summary: Not for the faint of Heart
Review: While very thorough, this book is almost as dry to read as the W3 specifications on which the technology is based. Incredibly complex examples are lightly touched on leaving you the reader sifting through (in some cases) pages of listings trying to find the differences between various versions. No effort is made to help steer the user through the examples. While this is a good reference for those with a firm grasp of concepts I think it could be immeasurably better written. Also, huge leaps are being made without examples. 3 stars for thouroughness of content, 2 deducted for being not in the least bit user-friendly.
