The other day Dan Moseley from the MSBuild team wrote up a review on the books Amazon page. Here are the contents of the review
I'm a developer on MSBuild; Sayed wrote this book with our encouragement, and we reviewed it for accuracy and completeness, so I can recommend it. The documentation for MSBuild in 2.0 and 3.5 was not great; I consider this something like the missing manual. Unfortunately there aren't many other MSBuild books; fortunately Sayed did a good job on this one.
We're fixing a lot of what's "missing" in MSBuild in the upcoming version 4.0 -- I hope Sayed can do a 2nd edition when that comes out. Plus, our docs should be better then :-)
I'm glad to say that this review was posted as 5 out of 5 and that is the 9th review (out of 9) which has been given 5 stars. When we wrote the book I knew that we had put something together that would really meet a specific need. I'm happy to see that the book has been accepted soo well by everyone and I hope that we are able to write a second edition as Dan mentioned.
