The authors waste too much time on COM/MTS/Threading Models/ATL about which many books have already been written (many from WROX itself). It lists Alex Homer as one of the authors but i doubt he wrote anything for this book. (I was expecting excellent treatment of the subject more along the lines of "Professional MTS and MSMQ Programming with VB and ASP" by Alex Homer). The book could have been less than half its current size (and probably cost less) had the authors concentrated solely on ASP and Components for ASP.
