Review title: Poorly Edited. Oxford UP should be ashamed.
Product review: This book is passably written by an author who cares much more about concurrent applications than about java. Java is perhaps just a hook to get you to buy the book. Why spend chapters on semaphores when the language has native monitor support? The editing of this book, however, makes it nearly unreadable and unusable. The text regularly refers to "Class 2.5" or "Listing 3.4" (for example) yet none of the code listings are labeled, and may not be on the same page. You'll drive yourself nuts trying to figure out what he's talking about. Also, the text makes reference to code and listings that can only be found on the author's web page without explicitly stating this. Finally, is the first philosopher "Philosopher 1" or "Philosopher 0"? An editor should have picked this up and corrected it.
