Waste of money! 
The list of Qt classes takes at least 20 percent of that book's content. I have the the "Qt Programming for Linux and Windows 2000" by the same author, that was a poorly written book, only 20 percent of the content maybe usefull, I am surprised even such book got published, it raise my doubt about HP Professional Books. I would sell mine brand new one for. . . (just to recover part of my cost).
So so 
Also, this book -- supposedly on GUI programming -- has a grand total on one (!) screen print (I don't count views of buttons and doodads like that. The book is OK for what it is, but keep in mind, it's very superficial, so you won't master Qt with it, plus is way too expensive for what it is.).
Useful only to start 
It has a good explanation of the concepts and basic programming. If you have never seen Qt, this is a useful book.
But if you are spending your time reading the online documentation and coding, the book soon becomes useless and goes to the desk eternally.
I bought it because O'Really book looked outdated. I think there is a new edition comming soon.
