Summary: This book truely offers the "All you can eat".
Review: This giant Java reference has all what you struggled to know in Java. Mainly, I found a lot of interesting examples to many classes and class methods. Ever wondered how to implement Timezones? Or how the TimeZone and SimpleTimeZone work in Java? This book not only explains what the JDK documentation left, but also gives you working examples.
What I liked about the book is that it has a dictionary-like interface. Classes are listed alphabetically. All you have to do is look up the name of the class that's driving you nuts. Read about it. And look at the consice examples provided.

Summary: Ripoff - Save your money
Review: This is a ripoff. Save your money. I have seen charts published by BarCharts and free ones provided by Java Report. I expected this to be as good, but no where near.I wonder publishers like AW can publish such thing and put up a list price of USD 5.95. Of course that is the negatives of buying some thing without seeing. I dont see how some other readers found it useful. Rather than spending money on this, one is just better of copying a few pages of Nutshell books and pasting on the wall. A free poster from Java Report just came in. That is much better.
