Summary: Good for starters, but not enough.
Comment: If you know absolutely nothing about the CK, this book seems a very good place to start. I would imagine it ages very quickly, because he circles a lot around modern lines. It seems like a good buy for weaker players. Stronger players most definitely need additional database treatment, because his analysis is far from adequate in several important lines, but as an overall guide to where to put your effort, it is a good book.
Finally, I'd say: If you want to know how to play against it with white, skip the 3. f3 chapter. He actually recommends it(!) and gives a few example games where black plays horrifically as argument. Shame, mr. Gallagher!

Summary: Middle of the Road
Comment: This opening guide failed to impress me at all. It was devoid of any general discussion about the themes of the opening and pawn structures arising from the caro-kann. I can get moves from fritz's database or elsewhere, but i at least want to understand what i'm doing when i add an opening to my repetoire. The format is quite decent, save for the diagrams, which bear completely useless captions (e.g. "a crazy position") instead of the usual "black to move" or "after 16...Nd4".
To be fair, there are a good number of complete games here (but none by karpov as black????) and that might get you somewhere, if Joel Gallagher's (who doesn't play the c-k) leaves you cold.
