Superficial USB book
Review written by: S. Gray From Colorado
There is an awful lot of text in this book most of which is the regurgitation of platitudes or common knowledge. Not a lot of real in depth knowledge or insight here. I found this book to be an extreme letdown.

Love this book.
Review written by: Anderson John From Dallas, TX USA

This is a great book for getting you started on the USB specification. Loved it.

Solid and informative
Review written by: C. Schweitzer From
I find this book to be well-written and comprehensive. The writing style is clear and unencumbered by attempts to be cute or clever. Both the broad overviews and detailed explanations are relevant and accurate. My only complaint is that some of the diagrams (e.g. transfers) have a primitive feel. I would recommend this book without reservation to beginners.

USB Complete is now up-to-date with the USB 3.0 specification
Review written by: Richard L. Grier From Lakewood, CO USA
I have each edition of Jan's USB Complete, and have found them to be valuable and useful. I program in VB and C# for Windows, and the details for writing host code running on a Windows PC is "on-target." USB 3.0 (SuperSpeed) is the new area that this edtion covers in some detail. Actual coding implementations are so application dependent that one will not find example code for every purpose -- however, the overall detail in the text is a great starting point.

First Look, Windows Centric, but a Good Reference
Review written by: rwizard From USA
I pre-ordered this book, and it just arrived about an hour ago, so keep in mind that this is more of a "first impression" than a deep review. Ms. Axelson sets the bar very high with the title theme of her books, i.e. "Complete". Some come closer than others to this laudable goal, but I'm not sure if any of them quite reach that high bar. On a quick look, my biggest issue with this book is that it is Windows-centric. I don't see how you can call it complete without addressing Linux and Mac OSX. If you are only working with the Windows environment, then this is no doubt a very useful reference. If, like me, you only rarely work in the Windows environment, I think this book is still worth having, but keep in mind that you probably won't find anything here to address matters specific to your OS.
