Summary: Wonderful gems of info for the experienced MFC4 programmer.
Review: I give this book an '8' rating because it's packed with good information but tends to be a little disjointed, flow-wise. Not a very good first-time reference, but after looking over each page I have a good idea what 'gems' can be found. What notification is used when a user clicks a tab on a tab control? This book will tell you and give hints on how to use it properly. This is not a beginner's book, but is great for the experienced MFC4 developer who's looking to 'enhance' their MFC4 skills. As a side, the author has an odd sense of humor that reminded me a bit of Scott Adams (of Dilbert fame).

Summary: I wish I had bought this book years ago
Review: It's hard to write an intermediate book - you don't want to overexplain, you don't want to skip important info, this book walks that line pretty well. This book is full of gems (although you sometimes have to read through a couple of paragraphs of fluff before you find the good stuff). Mike Blaszczak uses his knowledge of MFC internals and history to explain the unexplained, and his writing style is amusing to say the least. I found the chapter on Multi-threading alone to be worth the price of the book. Also, the Document-View chapter is excellent.
