After some searching, I found the chm version of the book (2nd Edition) is
available in various corners of the internet. Given that the book itself is
out of print, downloading it is probably illegal but morally justified, I
feel. I've had a leaf through it and it's definitely what I'm looking for in
terms of an MFC textbook. I expect I'll use the first edition as a ready
reference (I really hate reading textbooks on a monitor, and I'm not
printing out a 1162 page document), and check the pdf version I made out of
the chm now and then.

Anyone considering forking out the 65 UK pounds on a second hand copy via
Amazon should probably check the chm version first, in case it's not quite
what they're after.

No problem. It's fun to wax religious on occasion. Oddly, there are
benefits to both methods which is probably why everyone doesn't agree.

:o)

You can also find tons of tutorial information online about MFC. I think
that, coupled with the exercises in the book, will be a great introduction.
We always tell people to try out the Scribble Tutorial, but unfortunately it
jumped from VC6 to VS2008 without being updated so the wizards there are a
little out of date as well. Still you may want to look it up and agonize
through using the current paradigm with it since that will really make you
know where things are.

Ah, is that what Ajay said... :o) The new text must have been buried at the
bottom somewhere... Certainly, inlining is a great idea and I like Joe's
flower-boxes he puts around his messages since we can't really use varying
fonts here.
