Summary: Not that good
Comment: This is the first book I buy on compact .net. Granted, I can't compare with others.

Still, there are things I miss. First and foremost, Amazon's description says the book covers "Custom controls with Windows Forms Designer support". This isn't correct. The book just says "in can't be done in VB due to a bug in .NET, so the following examples must be in C#".

Also, there's no talk on locking your application so it's impossible to get out of it (for example when your app is the only application supposed to be used in a device - imagine the device that the UPS guys use).

Regarding what IS on the book, it's well explained and (more or less) through... but everything is on MSDN or just google. No special material here.
