✦ Synopsis
Is this a tome? I was expecting deep subject coverage. What we have instead is a reproduction of the API docs. Does that a tome make? I think not. What's missing? Complex examples.

More than anything, this book highlights the bloody lack of good Delphi books. This one is definitely a pass.
