Summary: VERY good LotusScript & Java Reference - not anything else
Comment: This is a good book providing advanced LotusScript and Java examples beyond standard reference stuff taken from Help. As the back cover says, it contains all the front and back end classes for LotusScript and Java. But, it is a detailed reference on ONLY those two topics, not a "panacean tool" for all Domino areas as the back cover also implies in the FIRST sentence (as Dilbert says, all marketing people lie and should be shot). so you need to learn LotusScript and Java somewhere else to use this.
My only gripe is that the title is really misleading - this ONLY covers LotusScript and Java, and should be described as such in the title. I recommended this book at a recent Orange County (CA) Notes & Domino user group and gave away a raffle copy, and there was much interest from the experienced developers. There are other books that cover many topics about Domino, but this one covers only the two topics in very good detail not available elsewhere.
Now, maybe they might do the same for Javascript and HTML within the Domino environment in the future - hear that guys! I could also use a manual comparing techniques using standard Notes features with EXAMPLES how to do the same task just for the web.
There is no companion CD, and it would have been nice to get a full text searchable, Notes nsf file of the book like other publishers provide to carry on your laptop.
The book is list priced at $45, Amazon is $9 less, and I bought it when it first came out at the local Microcenter store for $25. Most of you won't be near such a good bookstore, so Amazon continues to be a good source for this kind of book...

Summary: Only LotusScript Reference you'll need
Comment: I bought this book originally expecting a full reference to Lotus and at first was a little dissappointed that it only covered LotusScript and Java. After reading it, now it is the only reference I use for LotusScript. I too have several other books, but none give the information and detaill in an easy to read format like this book. Anything you want to know about Classes, Methods, Properties, Events, and new R5 LotusScript features are covered in this book in detail with good examples. I also like how each class has it's own contents page giving page numbers for all of the assosiated Properties, Methods, and Events for QUICK reference.

Summary: This a reference book and not for beginners
Comment: If you are new to LotusScript do not buy this book. This is a reference book for LotusScript and Java classes and a very good one at that. The developer help files can be confusing at times and it always helps to have a reference book near you.
If you are an intermediate or experienced Notes developer this is a terrific book, I have it by my desk all the time.
If you want a book to teach you LotusScript but Practical LotusScript it's great!
