Too much evangelizing and little technical details
Unfortuantely the author has spent a lot of 'page real-estate' evangelizing the open-source movement, instead of providing more info on the innards of mozilla.

It's still a good intro if you are planning to dwelve into mozilla's source code, but it's definately lightweight.

Get the head's up on Mozilla
This book couldn't possibly cover the entire Mozilla code, but I think it's excellent at getting you oriented with the structure of the Mozilla code, Mozilla.org and how to use it, basic developer stuff like CVS, and how to build Mozilla on your system, be it Unix, Linux, Windows, or Mac. I rate this one a definite buy.

Excellent Starter Guide
Getting started on the Mozilla project is nearly impossible. This book took several months off my ramp up time and I owe a huge thank you to the author Mr. Stanek. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to work with the Mozilla source. Excellent from start to finish.

I also recommend to readers who want to learn key lessons from this massive development project. Again, a good choice.
