Not for Novices 
The first example did not work as displayed in the text and I could not figure out why. If you're new to graphics and Java, this is not a useful book. Lots of code, very little explanation. I skipped to chapter 3 and discovered the author had switched to applets, but without the required start and stop methods. That example wouldn't run. After a few hours it was clear why the book is not very thick. There is very little explanation. Very frustrating for someone just getting started. Pick another book. (Fortunately this one was cheap. ).
Excellent to learn Java 2D API 
This book is excellent:
- easy to read
- lot of smal programs (with comments) to illustrate chapters
(compile/work with SDK 1. I knew Java and I wanted a book about Java 2D API.4) If you are fed up about Java books with more than 1000 pages or
if you want (like me) to learn quickly the 2D API, this one is for you.
Great very clear examples
It has very clear examples. This book is excellent. I was able to do a stock charting application very quickly by using the examples in this book.
