A "hacks" book. Speaking strictly from my point of view it has a few interesting "hacks" but, unfortunately not enough "hardcore content" to justify the purchase price. Also some chapters are pure fluff instead of "hacks". But, anyway, the best advice i can give you is to browse the TOC and read a sample chapter before deciding that the book is worth purchasing.
Also keeping with the latest "trends" in technical writing, the books is simply chocked with unnecessary source code samples. Instead of inserting small relevant pieces of code you get huuuuuge, irrelevant (do you really think it's ok to show the markup of a entire aspx page when you just want to demonstrate a binding expression ?!!!) lumps of code. And this really really sucks.
