	The book has been an excellent read! I'm halfway through it and I have already changed one of my kiosk apps to use visual inheritance. It's a great book. I'm look forward to finishing and applying it.

	I want to stress again how much I'm enjoying your book. Here's why: I've bought a ton of .Net books over the last two years. First I did ASP.Net work, and now I'm moving into WinForms. Most of the books look at .Net from a feature point of view--they cover all basics, presenting the CLR, controls, data access, error handling, deployment, etc. But they provide little, if any, real-world information about taking all these features and creating an application. Your book, on the other hand, takes the opposite approach (as you know!), and provides a quick look at the .Net architecture, but then moves straight into developing an app., teaching more about .Net along the way. I wish there were more books like this!

	I purchased your book VBTrain.Net last week. I am very impressed after going through it this week. I will be passing and recommending your book to others.

	You have a great, relaxed writing style.

	I've a rapidly expanding library on this new stuff, and locating stuff inside it is compellingly frustrating! My worst experience so far has been establishing how to use system-wide variables which persist across a multi-form application. Of all the books on the shelf, the only one that hit that meaningfully was Jeff's "VBTrain.Net". Thanks Jeff!
