Expertly crafted, very helpful, solid information, fun to read.
If you want to figure out how to set up your asset system, get this book and save yourself the effort of reinventing image cataloging. Folks have been building image databases and asset catalogs for decades and Peter Krogh cuts through the junk to the useful stuff.
The author is strictly Adobe-focused, biased toward Bridge and Camera RAW, but the information is solid. If you're already using Cumulus or iView you can benefit from these best practices to refine your original, terribly flawed catalog. Get better mileage from your images without wasting a bunch of your time doing the job.
Do not buy this book unseen, though. Go to Borders or Barnes and Noble and sit down with it for a few minutes. See if the information works for you.

Many of Addison-Wesley's programming books are good, too. They publish many of the "official" Java books like the JLS, JVM Spec, and The Java Programming Language. They also publish many classics like Design Patterns, The Practice of Programming, and The C++ Programming Language. They do have some bombs like Java in Practice, but overall their books are above average.
