Good reference to a reference
This book is a wonderful addition to a java developer's library. This book will greatly complement introductory or textbook-style books with its concrete examples and thorough coverage of concepts in a realistic context. IF you are looking for your first book on java - this book won't be your first choice - but it will be a very strong second to complement your new found java skills and show how to apply those new found skills will interesting, full-functional, "meaty" sample programs that are easy to reference based on topic. Great Reference! If you are found of the O'Reilly style of reference a great first java book would be "Learning Java" by Niemeyer and Knudsen.

Very Useful
Most programmers learn by doing. When programming using a new API for the first time, I very often look at sample code to get the real feel for how the code should work. I also sometimes adapt existing code to suit my purposes.
In any case, example code is invaluable, and this book has a lot of it. Although this book is tauted as a companion to the other Java "nutshell" books, this book is infinitaly more valuable. In fact, I don't recommend the other books in this series at all.
