Good idea - if you have the time!
But I agree the MSDN should be considered the Bible for those using
Microsoft technologies.
Many of the books are just copies of other books or even extracts from
the papers and web sites. However there are still plenty of good books
out there.

| While MSDN remains the best reference source for .NET, I have been very
happy with the Microsoft Press .NET materials. The VS6 stuff left a lot to
be desired, but they hit the mark this time.

The MS press books do tend to be quite good, that is, the one's
without mcsd/mcse/mcad etc in the title.
