Title: If you buy this book, you are taking your chances.
Product review: After reading over half of the first edition, I feel the content of the book is just about right for someone new to Java with a little experience in C++. However, by the time you are half way through, many of the programs, whether in the book, or on the CD-ROM, simply don't perform the way they are intended. Snippets of code, and example programs are no good if they don't work.
