Query: Redundant to a fault

This book is redundant to a fault. It repeats what is already in the Win32 SDK documentation, merely "translating" it to Pascal on the way. I was expecting alot of "how-to" rather than a mere C-to-Pascal Win32 reference. Also, the writing is redundantly awful. This is very nearly the worst written technical book I've ever had the misfortune to come across.
