Title: Overpriced, replaced by Chan's book, hard to look up info
Review: I'm mad at our Java teacher for making us buy these recently instead of the far better and cheaper book Java Class Libaries: An Annotated Reference.These volumes have the worst info-lookup scheme imaginable. They are organized by package, not by class, yet the package is not shown in the heading -- only the class name is shown, and it's in the gutter rather than the outer edge. The only way to find anything in these books is to look it up in the index. These books will not be updated for Java 1.1; the series will build on Chan's book instead, fortunately.
