First of all, thanks for the comments.

Reviews differ a lot from person to person. Again, when reviews are published in various websites, the book gets more visibility. People who read articles at ASPAlliance may not read at O'Reilly or MPV blogs.

Here at our ASPAlliance, we get occasional requests from publishers whether we are interested in writing reviews for their books. If we say YES, they sent us a copy of the book. From that moment, our conversation with the publishers end. Period. Then we read the book and write our own review. Once the review is published at our website, the book gets more publicity.

You are right, it is kind of advertisement for the publishers. But, people who read ASPAlliance articles will also get benefitted from reading the review.

As you suggested, it will be lot better if I can come up with an article which explains creating widgets. Actually, in many of previous occassion, I will end up writing an article based on experience that I gained from reading the book. For example, I ended up writing the article,

Developing AutoComplete Textbox using ASP.NET AJAX 1.0, Web Service and JavaScript

http://aspalliance.com/1504_Developing_AutoComplete_Textbox_using_ASPNET_AJAX_10_Web_Service_and_JavaScript

after reading the book,

Review: Microsoft AJAX Library Essentials - Client Side ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 Explained

http://aspalliance.com/1576_Review_Microsoft_AJAX_Library_Essentials__Client_Side_ASPNET_AJAX_10_Explained

So, you can except an article from my side in the future about creating widgets.
