Summary: this is for host programers
Comment: This is a good book if you are a host programmer and need to kow the dirty details of USB. But if you are looking for a practical circuit and a practical GUI you are not going to get it. Most devices takes care of the protocol within the hardware designed in the device so we really dont need to know all of the details that this book covers. If you plan on using USB for a hobby project and need quick, easy examples to get started that are specific to lets say a PIC dont buy this book. But if you need to know how USB works but dont want to read the boaring USB spec buy this book.

Summary: Used correctly, a great resource
Comment: In order to really get the full value out of this book, you need to understand what it is. It's a conversational book with an easy-to-read style and clear examples. What it is intended to do is explain the hardest-to-understand parts of the USB Standard, fill in common problem areas such as host programming, and get you comfortable thinking about the USB structure. It does not contain every nuance of the USB Standard; in fact, the book would be very confusing if it did. This book is more of a companion or guide to the USB documentation. It's like having an experienced friend nearby to explain things to you in order to get over the rough spots, and recommend hardware and programming tactics that worked for them. Using this book, you can very quickly determine what your target application will require, and zero in on the structures you will have to design as well as the relevant portions of the USB Standard. It helps you to actually *understand* the structure of your application, instead of memorizing routines and not knowing how they really work. I used the first version of this book a while back, and the second version is just as good but with more of today's technology. Oh, and don't cheap out and get the electronic version...the book version is very well laid out and much easier on the eyes. Plus it looks more impressive on the bookshelf. ;-)

Summary: Note to previous reviewer - "he" is a "she"
Comment: This isn't the first time I've seen this assumption, but having been on mailing lists with Ms. Axelson, I can tell you Jan is a she, not a he, as the previous overly negative reviewer said. "Complete" comes from the title of a previous book by this author on RS-232. Admittedly, that term is probably over-reaching, but it beats Intel's lousy "DBE" on USB.
