A Tactical Book
This book is a messaging technology book (as the small print states.) Thus, it's all about using messaging systems for "enterprise integration" and does not go deeply into other tech such as Web services and transactions. You should know that before you plunk down the bucks for this hard back. Also understand that we're talking about technology that is over a dozen years old, nothing really new here.

The title should be "Designing, Building, and Deploying Messaging Solutions," minus the "Enterprise Integration Patterns." Would have saved me some money, I hope you don't make the same mistake.

A Pattern Language of Messaging
I highly recommend this book because it offers solutions for many of the problems in enterprise software integration. I was able to participate in the on-line group reviewing the patterns. The authors were humble in receiving feedback and persistent in their desire to identify useful patterns with meaningful examples.

I am using these patterns at my present company designing in-house middleware solutions. The book is not just patterns, but a Pattern Language of Messaging for anyone needing to work in middleware. This will be a great reference for years to come!

Timeless Classic
I review a lot of books, and I've written a few myself :-). This is an absolutely terrific book. Gregor and Bobby provide you with a timeless foundation to understand the future of EAI. While some authors use patterns inappropriately (as a way to boost sales, perhaps?), Gregor and Bobby use patterns to effectively capture and share their tremendous wisdom and experience. I learned a great deal in reviewing and reading this book, and I look forward to relying on its advice in the years to come. BUY IT NOW -- You'll be glad you did.
