This book gives good coverage of advanced topics , though it's a little dated, I picked it up used for a buck.
Rating: - Excellent Book--But It's Been Superceded
This book is a fantastic reference for Windows programmers. However, as others below have mentioned, its fourth release is now available under the title "Programming Applications for Microsoft Windows." If you're comfortable with Windows programming and are looking to get into some of the meatier areas, check it out.
Rating:  - Doing serious Win32 Development? YES. Then get this book.
Anyone doing serious Windows development using the base Win32 API's must have this book. It covers intermediate and advanced usage of the file system, DLL's, memory architecture, memory management, thread synchronization, memory mapped files, and a host of other more advanced topics. The coverage of the various subjects is complete and the code examples well written. Really anyone doing development under the Win32 API will benefit greatly from this book. Get it. I hope this helps J.
Rating: - Packed with Win32 Goodness
Not just a "How do I..." book, but also a "Why should I..." book.
Richter writes in an easy, conversational, and readable style about difficult and technical topics related to Win32 programming - thread management and local storage, differences in the handing of DLLs in Win32 and Win16, using virtual memory, etc. In addition, the author makes explicit distinctions between the behavior of 95 and NT when appropriate.
Highly recommended.

The firt thing you should know is that this book is not for Advanced users of windows. It's for Advanced PROGRAMERS in windows. which isn't clear from the books name. I normaly don't like books except when they are exceptionally usefull.

This book is RREEAALLY difirent. It's 1000 pages are realy a 1000. Jeff doesn't talk alot. gives you precise ... Read More
