Title: First rate reference for advanced Java topics
Product review: Despite covering advanced topics, this book is surprisingly clear and easy to read. You won't find any lengthy, irrelevant ramblings about the history of this or that or anecdotes about the author's pet in Professional Java Programming -- it gets to the point and covers the topics thoroughly. Another thing I liked is that unlike a lot of programming books these days, this one is written by a single author, which means that there's little or no duplication of information and the writing is consistent throughout the book. That's not to say that this is a title that you'll want to read from cover to cover, but it does provide terrific information on lots of topics.
