A worthy addition to my bookcase.

To be honest, I only picked this book up because I like having lots of computer books in my bookcase, and I like having as many references on hand as possible. I really didn't expect anyone to know more on the subject than I did.

While I was mostly right, the book did manage to discuss the topic with surprising lucidity without losing a bit of detail. Not a small feat considering the subject matter. It also manages to be very lean, not wasting any time on theory or conceited tangents that just tend to waste the readers valuable time.

The only problem I had with the book is the cover. While programming books are not known for their stylish leather binding or gilded pages, I'd prefer to have a book that didn't look so much like "chicken soup for the GUI" on my shelf.

I recommend the book for anyone interested in working with SWT/JFace.
