Saw "Java How to Program (7th Edition)" at my local book store.
Looked it up online and saw six reviews that all were pretty
favorable. Anyone else have any hands on with this book? Before I
shell out $90 for a book, I would like to be sure it is worth while.

As a side note, I hate online books, I like having a physical book
sitting next to me as I program. Just easier for me, and how I
learned in the past. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

I suggest going to the bookstore and look thru several Java books to see
which one 'speaks your language'.
Some authors explain things assuming you know c++
some explain as if you know vb
some don't assume.

I like authors Malik and Savitch for expensive books

and there's one book "Head First Java" that has a fresh approach and a
better price.
