An OK book.

I feel that the book does an OK job of introducing the reader to several boos libraries. It seems to be a good resource for somebody who never used boost libraries before and wants to learn about them. However, the book seems to lack certain depth. A lot of space is wasted on listings of the header files or listing of all methods and fields in classes. This kind of information is readily available online and does not contribute much to the book. On the other hand, not enough info is given about the concepts that the libraries are based upon.
