Query: Love Holzner but despise this book....

I was looking for a more indepth look at ADO.NET to connect to databases. I thoroughly enjoyed Holzner's Sam's book ("Teach Yourself Visual Basic.NET in 21 Days"), but this book is awful. First off, it's bound up like a paperback novel, the screen shots barely legible at times. I had to break the binding to get it to cooperate while I worked through the examples.The content was put together decent but in a strange order. You'd be right in the middle of putting something together and then the authors would cut away to another project. I also found some of the "tone" to be offensive, talking about "real programmers" and what-not. I highly suspect that to be the co-authors voice, Bob Howell, but there's no way to know for sure.Don't waste your time on this book. Seriously, I'm not just being picky here. I've never thrown a book away before but I'm considering doing that, either that or donating it to my library.
