Not much help and support for installation
The book doesn't provide much help even to install its own sample code. First, you have to look around very hard to find the source code to download (it is no longer in wrox.com). Second, the database is for restore to SQL Server 2000 only. It doesn't provide any kind of script file that I can make little modify to install it to a SQL Server 7 or MSDE 2000. You will be stuck if you don't have SQL Server 2000 installed. Third, the source code installation is not a install and run, I have to do some change to be able to opetn the solution.

Simply Documentation for a Sample E-Commerce Site
This book provides extensive documentation for a sample e-commerce Web site, but not much in the way of instruction. It is more of a "Look, here's how I did it"-book than a "Look, here's how you do it"-book. If you're a beginner, this book will go WAY over your head. It was written for those already well-versed in VS.NET/C#/ASP.NET and are looking for some guidance to put their skills to use in creating an online store.

Too Brief
The Container mapping is the second chapter is good...
I read a book for a day and return to book shop for next day. I am looking for books to discuss the whole architecure with e-commerce site. This book just breifly describe each topic, and some difficult topic such as inventory control are missed out intentionally...The author says it is waste of resource, then I would say I waste my money. I pay $50bulks for the book and the content should be much more enriched...MSDN has a very good example there, The Duwich Bookshop, Duwich Online.....Those are the materials that I am looking for....

Disappointed
