Summary: I liked it
Comment: Well written with good examples. Through enough but still missing here or there a few examples. For instance I would have loved to see some about schemas.
It is a good book to learn about XML unless if you plan to use this book as a reference as well. Then you probably want to use a different book.
If you need a good understanding of the DOM again consider reading msdn that should be enough. However if you into developing distributed apps in with Microsoft tools I would recommend spending the money.

Summary: Good basic book
Comment: Unlike the other recent release from MSPress (XML and SOAP Programming for BizTalk Servers), this one actually has a lot of useful content. Unfortunately, so little of it is far enough advanced to give me a real reason to recommend it.
Don't get me wrong, the content will be very useful overall for anyone who has not developed full-blown applications using XML (judging from the hands up at the latest DevDays event, less than 1% of the Microsoft developers present have given XML more than a cursory glance).
For those who have developed XML solutions before, you will find the first few chapters a quick run through (at least until you get to schemas); there will be very little useful information unless you need a bit of trivia on XHTML.
Beyond those chapters, you will find some substance in the chapters on SOAP, BizTalk and schemas (as there is so little written material outside of Microsoft and the W3C on this one).
Until there are better books on the market, this one should give you a nice start on developing solutions. On the plus side, you do not have to learn Omnimark (see review on XML and SOAP Programming for BizTalk Servers).

Summary: This is by far the worse book I ever read. REAL SHAME!
Comment: More and more books are written lately by poor visual basic programmers that have nothing to do with computer programming or computer science in general. This is one of them; a real shame for Microsoft Press...
