I can not recommend this book

I'm afraid that I have to agree with the reviewers that gave the book only one or two stars. I think the size of the book is misleading. I found that I had to continually get further explanations and examples from the internet. So even though the book is thin, if you printed out all of the supplementary explanations and examples and added them to the size of the book, the book would be much thicker. I have to agree that using BNF in a book of limited size would not be the method that I would have picked. (Eventhough I have used lex, yacc, flex, and bison and done some compiler writing.) Unfortunately I would also not recommend the book as a reference. Instead if I wanted a thin reference I would use something like "C# Precisely", second edition by Peter Sestoft and Henrik Hansen. However, I have worked with people who would like this book, which is why I am giving it two stars instead of one star. But I don't think the above mentioned people would be in the majority.
