Rather disappointing. As with the other books in O'Reilly's "Hacks" series, most of the "hacks" are really just simple tips or recipes of the sort that could easily be gleaned from the documentation or casual experimentation. In this book in particular, they're not terribly useful, either. There's good stuff in here, but not enough to justify a $25 book--probably why I found it at Amazon for $5. [2006-08-31]
