As i wrote in my blog few days ago, i have bought a book about GNU/Linux GUI programming using GLADE. Later that night i read the book and find it suprisingly that it didn't contain enough information about the materials it self. I was quite dissapointed by how the authors wrote that book. It didn't give details information and only explains some steps and shows a picture about the results. Luckily i have downloaded GTK tutorial from the original site, but i haven't read them yet, since i was quite busy with my task right now.
In the future, i will be more selective when i want to buy a book, mainly for computer or programming books, since some author just write or translate from the manuals without a real implementation or any suggestion about the materials. I prefer to buy foreign books, even though they are more expensive than the local books. My favourite books are Eric Meyer on CSS and More Eric Meyer on CSS. It contains a detail information and also a practical materials with some tips from the CSS guru. It also has a full color page, so i can see the result in the real color, not just black and white. If you are looking for a book that discuss about CSS, i suggest you with this books as the first try. You will not regret it.
