Advanced ASP.NET AJAX Server Controls For .NET Framework 3.5 (Microsoft .Net Development Series)

Adam Calderon, Joel Rumerman

Addison-Wesley Professional, 2008

Not for the faint of heart :)

Should be required reading

Pleasently Surprised
I am a college student and the math book that was at the bookstore was $100.00. I went onto amazon.com and found the same book in new condition (looked like)for $56.00. I was kind of weary about ordering on-line for the first time but was pleasently surprised. This was ...

Microeconomics

Paul Krugman, Robin Wells

Worth Publishers, 2004

Probably great, but excerpt from larger book
This is probably a very, very good book. However, it turns out that this is simply one-half of the authors' book "Economics" and, currently, the complete book seems to sell for about the same price as this one piece of it! So, be economical -- buy "Economics" instead.
