This would have been a better Java textbook than the ones I remember having for Java courses, but by this point the repetition of how much of an improvement Java 5 is makes the book show its age. If the book were three Java versions more recent I would most likely give it at least one more star.
A very good book to learn Java. Very complete in it's coverage of Java language features. Don't bother trying to find a copy. Check the intertubes for a free copy. Pretty sure there are also newer additions.
