I used the 3rd edition back in the days of Java 1.4. Not great. Explanations are relatively minimal, and much of the book is just specific examples without sufficient discussion of the general principles.

So far it seems to be a great starter book. I just wish I had purchased a newer version. IT stuff changes too quickly. Always get the latest versions.
