Great new Enterprise Services book

Christian Nagel's new Enterprise Services book has just been released, and from my first impressions, it looks really good. Enterprise Services in .NET is one of those areas that a lot of developers seem happy to avoid, I think partly because there's been a lack of a solid reference -- the kind of book you can depend on to answer the big questions.
C# COM Programming is the one of the oldest books on the subject, and while it's definitely a worthwhile read, it does tend to skip some detail in a few areas.
Coming from Addison-Wesley, you just knowthis is going to be good. AW have got to be the best .NET publisher out there, with classics like Fritz Onion's ASP.NET book, Keith Ballinger's Web Services and Shawn Wildermuth's ADO.NET book. I don't know if Christian's book is up to that high standard yet, but it's certainly in good company.

Michael, it's nice to see that finally another "innerworker" is starting blogging!
I will definitely have a look at this book as it hopefully fills a huge void in this area of development.
As Juval Lowy said once, "If you are developing an enterprise application without Enterprise Services, you are developing a toy!" :-)
