Title: Don't waste your money on this one!
Product review: This reference is difficult to use and I don't recommend it. I tried very hard to get familar with this book...but it was too unfriendly and not worth the effort in the long run. Unless you know what package a class is in, you are going to spend lots-o-time looking around. And even when you find the class, it is not very helpful. You might as well use 'javap'. Plus, it is difficult to differentiate between the different packages. I wish the author had included the graphical layouts of the classes from the previous edition...even if the text version is similar. Although I have not seen the previous edition, I was hoping for some graphical organization of the classes when I bought this book. The author, David Flanagon, should remove the Java tutorial and misc sections and improve the reference section.
