Summary: Very, very disappointed
Comment: I was very disappointed with this book. I needed a book to help me make the jump from GDI to GDI+ and this was most certainly not that book. This was little more than a rehashing of the .NET framework library help file as far as far as I could tell, with all its limitations. It offers little or no additional value.
There were no useful discussions of the underlying abstract coordinate system of GDI+. Oh sure there was a rudimentary discussion of the Cartesian coordinate system, but no real discussion of how the vector shapes you draw in GDI+ get rendered on pixels, and how this can lead to all sorts of frustrating "off by one pixel" issues.
There was no dicussion about why DrawRectangle and FillRectangle seem to draw rectangles of different sizes. In fact, the caption in one drawing in the book makes me think the author has no idea this issue even exists.
There are no explanation of the subtle issues surrounding metafiles (like why do I still need a hDC, since hDCs are no longer used in GDI+) and on and on the list goes.
I can browse through the list of methods and properties in the .NET framework just fine, thanks. What I really need is a book that talks about the subtle issues of GDI+.
My recommendation to you? Buy one of Petzold's new .NET books. They aren't specific to GDI+, but there's a heck of lot better information in the sections he devotes to GDI+ than there is in this lousy book.

Summary: A very splendid book to have in one's collection
Comment: The way the book is been organised is awesome. The book caters the need of both the beginners as well as experienced programmers. It helped me a lot to get into depth of GDI+.
