But not to worry, this book is one of the good guys! At roughly pages this book packs a lot of goodies into a nice to hold book. This does two things, it makes it visually easy to find where each chapter starts and stops as well as shows you how many chapters there are in the entire book.
It makes flipping to a specific section of the book a bit easier to do and can give you an idea of how big that section is going to be without needing to flip through all the pages. We also like the quality of the paper and it is good to see many of the books coming out these days are not skimping out on that detail.
I still have some old bible books and Wrox books made with the pages that looked like newspaper and eventually would turn an off color that just made them horrible to look at. I think it might have been back when they were trying to use recycled paper or something. The book content is jam packed! Every page uses up almost the entire page and contains charts, tables and text in generous amounts. I would put it on par with the Java Complete Reference book we reviewed earlier in the way of coverage.
So between that Java book and this C book I feel pretty cozy that my bases on those two languages are covered. Microsoft has made the MSDN library pretty easy to use and if you use it with this book you can certainly get the idea on pretty much every topic in the language. This book features a nice mix of both code examples, definitions and some explanation text. I am not quite sure what exactly the font is but it always seems like a narrow cartoony type of font… probably Garamond.
Again, not a deal breaker. I am usually one for packing as much data as you can but I think they maybe went a little too far with this book. It is easy to find the sections and jump straight in, get what you need and jump out and any attempt to start reading more than a few pages might annoy you do to the cramping font.
