RE: RE: Looking for a book recommendation

Thanks, I like the book already based on the title.. I have O'Reily's Java
Cookbook and it's worth the $...I'll check yours out, thanks.

William,

This is a shameless plug for my own book! I apoligize but it 
seems like it might be what you are looking for. It will be out 
in Nov/Dec: 

XSLT Cookbook. 

O'Reilly is the Publisher. 

But I should also add that Jeni's book is good also.
