But the quality of the paper is pretty poor. The latest release of this paperback, 5th printing, July 2007, is printed on thin see-through recycled paper. I'm for preserving the environment, but I'm against paying full price for what seems like shoddy merchandise. <br /> <br />I tend not to buy international editions, precisely because the paper is so cheap that you can see right through it, making reading difficult. Sadly, this domestic edition suffers the same fate, albeit not as badly as some Low Priced Editions; it's merely annoying. Truth be told, other domestic full priced editions also have translucent paper; but I still don't like it, and the flimsy through-view paper in this book stands out. For example, with the pages flat, I can read parts of page 221 through the white space on page 219! Rating: 3 / 5 I'm sure the content is still superb. But the quality of the paper is pretty poor.

One can see through to the next page, and using a highlighter for emphasis is next to impossible. I will never buy this book as long as the paper quality is so poor (as my colleagues have also mentioned).

But hey, nothing works better than the Java Language Spec Third edition =). ( at least it gives you everything exhaustively ). <br /> <br />Regards <br />Vyas, Anirudh Rating: 3 / 5 Simply put this book can be viewed from a love it or hate it perspective, but personally when i bought Java Generics and Collections ( O Reilly ) i was impressed by the depth of their coverage, it gave me that inside edge and the internal knowledge of generics and collections ( how they work etc. ) This Book works well in giving what to do, what could have been done better and some portions on Concurrent package, but simply put I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH ITS COVERAGE ON CONCURRENT PACKAGE!. if you stack up generics against this one, i'd say generics is 200% better than this one.
