Title: Big but not bloated
Product review: I have the 2nd edition of Java in a Nutshell and it's less than half the size. Despite that, it there is no waste. The book sis jammed with all the basic information about the language, tools, and major packages of Java. A must have for Java programmers, professional and hobbyists alike. The only complaint I can think of is that some of the class descriptions are a bit light but really, it's just a reference and there's always Javadocs and Internet sources.A great feature is the binding. I know, the binding? With a book this size, it's real easy to crack the spine and end up with loose pages falling out. This book overcomes that problem. You can even lie it flat most of the time so that it stays open.
