Rating:  - A desk reference with in-depth information
This is an excellent desk reference book for Delphi, with great in-depth information of Delphi's Object Model, RTTI, ans SysUtil. Nonthless, be warned that it does not tell you how to write Delphi code specifically; therefore it is really not a book for Delphi beginners.
Meanwhile, this book is comparable to the classic "Inside C++ Object Model" by Stanley Lippman, but with more, let alone the English writting of this book is more concise, accurate, and easy to follow.

Rating:  - Too Much Work
Material is presented out of order and not readable to anyone who has not already mastered the subject.
Rating:  - Oldie but Goodie
This book is a fair reference for the intermediate programmer. However, it stops at Delphi 5, so it's use for those using later versions of Delphi will find a lot missing. The book is organized fairly well and it is easy to find answers to questions that are pertinent up through Delphi 5.

This book is best used as a supplement to an instructional book, ... Read More
Rating: - Keep this on my bookshelf
Ray has written an excellent desktop reference for Delphi. I really liked the explanation of the SysUtils unit. I found that there were functions in there that I had written myself, if I had only known I would have saved myself some time. The Language reference with the Tips and Tricks is excellent, helps make more sense of the sometimes archaic online help. My only complaint is that this is the ONLY Delphi book published by O'Reilly, I would love to see a Learning, Programming, or Mastering book!
Rating: - Good book, shame about the binding.
This is a useful book that provides a good reference to Object Pascal as well as the System unit. The problem I have with it is that my copy and that of my colleague completely broke off. The publisher should pay better attention to the production of this book. I have managed to glue it back on.
