This is very good 'how to' book and tutorial. The plentiful examples are well documented and illustrate real world tasks that fledgling Exchange Programmers may want and/or need to tackle.

There is a very detailed chapter on Forms programming giving examples of MAPI and HTML Forms and details of how to set up the system so that they can be used.

There are plenty of other topics discussed, these include:

* Using CDO to send and receive messages from C++

* Exchange Server folder scripting

* Exchange Server security

* Exchange Server administration extensions

* Exchange Server gateways

Although this book is not directly about MAPI I found it most useful in clarifying my thoughts about what I was trying to do with MAPI and how I was trying to achieve it. The examples were more than adequate to point me in the right direction, or in some cases provided exactly the code that I needed once I had added a bit of bullet proofing.

All in all I would have no hesitation in recommending this book to any programmer starting out on the Exchange Server trail.

I couldn't put this book down. I have never read this author before but she was fantastic. She made me laugh constantly. All the characters were wonderful, especially the little boy. I can't wait till the next bachelor of Shotgun Ridge comes out. Well written and just plain fun.

This book is filled with thoughts of not only the mechanical but also the personal situations that arose during their cruise. It tells of the introspective thoughts that come to mind when out on the seas communing with God and nature; plus the fun of partying on the seas and in ports of call. It makes me want to chuck it all and go cruisin'

I read this book again every year. And I pass it on to my staff, my friends, everyone I know in direct marketing. This book, itself, is one of the best kept secrets to successful direct mail.

A very informative, carefully articulated piece of work detailing not only mail-order aspects but the general nature of becoming a bookseller. I only hope a revised edition (in which internet commerce is handled) appears.

I, like many, was first introduced to St. Exupery by "The Little Prince"; however, I went on to explore his other books (Wind, Sand and Stars) and fell in love with his poetic style of writing, his passion for flight, and his vivid descriptions of the Sahara. His life ended all too soon, insisting on flying in the War, even when he was turned down several times for his age. He died flying at the age of 44. His writing lives on, and if you read just the first page, you will know that this is one of the most talented and excellent writers you will ever read.

I bought this book because I was raised in a Pullman passenger car sitting on the ground next to the Southern Pacific line in Southern Oregon. The book is a wonderful compilation of photos from all eras over all of the lines in Oregon. I was most interested in the Siskiyou line but the authors do an equally competent job covering the Cascade or Main line west to San Francisco (SF), the Coast line and all the branches around Portland. For you non-SP fans, trains going away from SF are headed East regardless of the direction and those headed toward SF are headed West. One of the best things I like about this book is the maps. There are strip maps of the entire SP system in Oregon showing terrain and all of the siding and communities of today and years long gone past and the mileposts. Mileage markers are also figured from San Francisco...SP headquarters on Market Street to be exact. The words that accompany the many photos provide a history of each segment of the line, some of the communities along the way as well as interesting stories the authors have acquired. One of the authors, Tom Dill, was a fireman-engineer for 18 years on the SP and Ed Austin's uncle worked for the company too. Over the years they took many great photos and you'll see them all in this book.

So you always wanted to be an engineer on one of those big locomotives climbing up out of Eugene into the Cascades and headed toward Klamath Falls. Here's a quote from the book:

Even with three AC's handling a train, speeds between Oakridge and Cascade Summit seldom exceeded twenty miles per hour and often dropped to ten miles per hour. Thus, heat and smoke in the longer tunnels on the Cascade line presented a significant problem for train crews...On one trip fireman Herb Abarr, using a thermometer in the cab of the second helper locomotive, measured a temperature of 176 degrees in tunnel No. 7.

There is a second book that accompanies this one and it is called, "The Southern Pacific in Oregon - Pictorial". It is made up of many of the extra photos that wouldn't fit in the first book. If you can find it you'll also be pleased with the coverage of the line but be warned that both books are hard to find. If you can get them, however, you'll be very pleased with your purchase. I know one thing. You're not getting my copies.

This was very helpful. It has a lot of good information to get rid of junk mail and telemarketers.

This is a very well written book packed with information in an easy to read format. Plenty of resource references to make navigating the world of cyberdating and chatrooms. This book includes a list of chatroom abbreviations.Great reading

This is a lovely book that I would recomend to anyone with small children. The story is a simple one, about a tortoise who delivers the mail throughout the forest, but the animals begin to get impatient with him and wish to have faster service. The Tortoise only wants what is best for the animals, so he agrees to let another animal take the job. After several animals do the job in a sloppy and careless mannor, the animals of the forest ask Tortoise to deliver their mail again. It gives you a chance to talk to your child about patience, kindness and forgiveness. A fantastic choice for any child!
