MSDN contains same EXACT information. Lacks VC++ examples
Very disappointed that MicroSoft would even recommend this book on their website!! The book is an obvious replica of the MSDN. Had the auther included VC++ COM examples it would have been worth buying.

A good book covering both the com & API interfaces to MSMQ
The book is well structured and intutive. It is a good introduction to MSMQ and covers the interfaces to MSMQ well. The book is limited to the extent that it does not provide insight into MSMQ beyond the obvious. Further, the source code for this book is not available at the web site indicated in the book.

Rewrite of MSDN
I started using MSMQ in June by reading the help files available in MSDN. After a couple of weeks I wanted to go deeper with MSMQ and bought Alan Dickman's book. To my suprise he does not add any new information that is not available in the MSDN. If you have MSDN library, do not waste your money on this book, it's all there in the help files. Note: my book (ISBN: 0-201-32581-0, 2nd printing) only contained just over 300 pages, when this page says it contains 512.

There are only a couple of examples in the book and they are VERY easy.

A beginners book.
