Great book.
There are some typos, but overall is a great book. If you like examples and short concise descriptions this is the book for you. If you want history and philosophy try the MS Press books.

Good Intro - 2 years ago
It is mostly an MTS book; from 1998. This book should never have included MSMQ in the title. MTS is now part of COM+ and while most of the concepts have survived, the implementation is different.

Don't buy it. You can get everything you need out a fifteen minute browse in your local bookstore.

Professional? Maybe - Useful? Definitely
Even after a year and a half of MTS/MSMQ programming, I still refer to this book every once in a while for helpful tips and hints. If you are new to MTS and MSMQ (which a good number of organizations are), this is a great place to start. Unfortunately, though, I don't consider it a professional level book. Amidst all of the code samples and screen shots, real technical information is missing. So, if you're looking to get into MTS and MSMQ programming, this book can get you on the right track, but if you're an experienced developer make sure you obtain other resources.
