The first I've heard of GUCCI verbs
While I've never built a control before, I need to build something for a client. After pre-ordering this, I was amazed to find out about designer verbs and designers in general. The Wizards of Redmond constructed the pieces to interact and really make building sophisticated controls easy for anyone that understands OO and VB.Net (which is what I use). I purchased and read Connell's other books so hoped this would be in a par. "Controls" takes you from soup to nuts - and even discusses sophisticated licensing so you can build a control and sell it. If you are new to controls, even though this covers some fairly complicated technology, Mr. Connell clearly explains how its used and provides tons of full examples. Anyway, that's my 2 cents worth. Personally, I found the book extremely useful even if I didnt need it as I do. The technologies he explains such as encryption, serialization, and isolated storage alone make this a valuable tool for any serious professional programmer.

What does it contain?
I'm with the first reviewer. For a long time now, i'm trying to find this book's table of contents. It's not in MSPress site or anywhere else. I'm really sick and tired of shallow or no books on .NET Controls and the amazon reviews are also misleading these days. May be there is not much going on at Redmond after the initial fluff , i guess ;)
