Kruglinski's new edition shipping

The new edition of David Kruglinski's book "Inside Visual C++" is really
shipping.  I had it backordered, and it arrived today.

The subtitle is "The standard reference for programming with Microsoft
Visual C++ Version 4".  On the cover, it says
  
  Covers:
    * MFC 4.0
    * 32-bit programming for Windows
    * OLE and ODBC topics
    * Components Gallery
    * Other advanced tools and techniques

I've only glanced at the contents briefly, so I can't offer any meaningful
opinion on the book yet.  I had seen enough complimentary reports on the
previous editions to go ahead and place my order sight unseen.

The last I heard, the new edition of Petzold was still expected to be out in
February, and I'm looking forward to that one too, although I don't expect it
will have MFC-specific information in it.

     I owned the previous version of Inside VC++ and learned a 
     lot about MFC.  This was the book that got me started in MFC 
     programming and I have recommended it to everyone who asked. 
      I recently bought the latest edition and my impressions are 
     as follows:
     
     *It still is THE book for SDK programmers who want to learn 
     MFC.
     
     *Its strong suit is the coverage of the Document/View 
     architechure, printing and print preview and on-line help.
     
     *It is weak in it's coverage of Windows controls (CListCtrl, 
     CTreeCtrl, etc, etc)
     
     I did not feel that the new material it contained justified 
     the almost $50.00 price tag, however.  I recommend that 
     anyone who owns an earlier edition of the book spend a 
     little time in the bookstore with this 3rd edition before 
     taking it home.
     
     Just my $0.02

I have the first two editions of his book and I browsed the new 
edition in the bookstore.  It seems to be the same old stuff with a 
few added topics.  But all in all it seems the same.  
However, I didn't read it too thoroughly so I am not completely sure 
if it is exactly the same.  I just seems so.
