Summary: Almost wonderful
Review: While the contents of the book as a wonderful as Volumes 1 & 2, I have to drop a star based on the utility of the format. Besides the class library additions, there are updates to classes in the other volumes. Collating the three volumes can be a pain. Still, it's better than waiting for a third edition.

Summary: Finally, a book worth more than the paper it's printed on.
Review: You can get useful information without having to read useless information and verbage! This is absolutely the best programming reference book I have ever seen. Well organized, clear, straight-forward and concise class descriptions, hierarchy, and simple yet useful example code snippets for each class. As an experienced programmer who understands objects, all I want to know is what's available, what's it normally used for, where does fit into the larger picture and what's the syntax of how it's normally used. This book has it all and gets straight to the point.
