Summary: Expert Advice, Well Hidden
Comment: There's no doubt that Blaszczak knows MFC. Expertise nonwithstanding, however, the book suffers and ultimately fails for two reasons: poor writing infused with distracting try-too-hard humor, and an index that's so far off in the weeds as to be utterly useless. If you feel you must purchase this book, try reading a few pages first; if the author doesn't annoy you within two pages, you may get along with him just fine.
Count on this, however: you WILL need a different book as a reference. The index, when it contains what I'm looking for at all, is often several pages off target. Most often, though, I can't even find what I'm looking for in the index.
The party's pretty much over for MFC anyway, and thank God for that. At least Microsoft finally came to their senses and cloned much of Java for their C#/.NET stuff.

Summary: Explanations for People who want to Understand
Comment: This book wonderfully explains how MFC classes and concepts actually work. It allows you to work-by-understanding, as opposed to by example. His writting style is also livly and he doesn't leave out the important details like what a constant actually equals so you can avoid conflicts with it. I would say anyone who uses MSVC++ should have this book on their desk. The fact that there is no CD is a plus. You can learn from this book away from your computer. It's not littered with code that you skip anyway, but has the code where it's needed. Worth every penny.

Summary: amazing book
Comment: I own 6 MFC books, and out of all of them, Professional MFC with Visual Studio 6 is by far the most complete. When I wanted to look up a subject I was having trouble with, I used to have to flip through a few of my books before I found a decent section covering the topic, if I even did. Since I bought this book however, I just look in it and the rest of the books have been gathering dust on my floor. I'd highly recommend it.
I'm using VS 2003, but MFC hasn't changed that much so the content is still relevant. There was no CD with the book, but I was able to track down a download that contained all the sample code after following a few links (the d/l location mentioned in the book is no longer there).
