Summary: Great book, but some problems with the publisher...
Comment: The book provides a great overview of R5 development techniques. Unfortunately, it is deficient in its coverage of Javascript. This is due soley to the fact that the publisher left out two chapters submitted by the author (I recently spoke with her personally). The missing chapters are supposed to be available at the publisher's site, but the download link was broken when I last checked yesterday. Their customer service did not return emails about that either. It's really a shame, as the author is very experienced in using Javascript in Domino, and teaches the Lotus Education course on that subject. If you need an overall development in R5 book, I would still recommend this one, but if you are specifically interested in Javascript, it would be best to wait for a reprint, or at least for the publisher to get the missing chapters available for download.

Summary: Fantastic
Comment: As another reviewer states, don't buy this book to learn Java or JavaScript. But do buy the book. The authors continually look at all Domino programming/developing from an Object Oriented Point of view, which I found fascinating, and educational. Its caused me to rethink even the simplest Notes task from an OOP point of view, and I had not done that before.
What is nice about the book is that not only do the authors give you the "how to" of forms, subforms, outlines, pages, @comands/formulas, LotusScript, Java, e.t.c in Notes, they give you tons of tips/advice that are definitely on track with Best Practices for Notes. Plain how to's don't cut it anymore, and these authors know that--they give you the "why" and the "where" that is missing from so many instructional manuals.
A really complete, and well written book that I can honestly recommend. With such a lack of good Notes Development books out there (yet tons of Notes Developers), this is a refreshing change.

Summary: Not practical for Business
Comment: I've had this book at my desk at work for over a year now. I still have not found one pratical use for this book. Every time I ran into a question developing a Notes application this book has been no help. A lot of the applications used in my business rely on LotusScript which is very weakly covered in this book. My advice, go to lotus.com and get their manuals. You'll be better off.
