Waste of money!
I have the the "Qt Programming for Linux and Windows 2000" by the same author, that was a poorly written book, only 20 percent of the content maybe usefull, I am surprised even such book got published, it raise my doubt about HP Professional Books. The list of Qt classes takes at least 20 percent of that book's content. I would sell mine brand new one for...(just to recover part of my cost).

So so
The book is OK for what it is, but keep in mind, it's very superficial, so you won't master Qt with it, plus is way too expensive for what it is. Also, this book -- supposedly on GUI programming -- has a grand total on one (!) screen print (I don't count views of buttons and doodads like that.)

Useful only to start
If you have never seen Qt, this is a useful book. It has a good explanation of the concepts and basic programming.
But if you are spending your time reading the online documentation and coding, the book soon becomes useless and goes to the desk eternally.
I bought it because O'Really book looked outdated. I think there is a new edition comming soon.
