I also have the first edition of Professional C#. While it definitely has its share of typos, I still use the book frequently as a reference. It certainly is not the best technical book I've read, but it has been useful. It certainly helped me learn some of the nuances of OOP, as I had only a basic and rudimentary understanding of it before.
I'd be interested in a good/advanced Windows Forms and ADO.NET book at some point. Possibly a design pattern book in C# or simply with the .NET framework would be useful too. Hopefully over the next 6 months, we'll see some good examples coming out, now that the codebase is stable and people have had time to play and learn.

Of course the 2nd edition is now out.

But the first edition of "Profession C#" didn't seem like it was even looked at by an editor. I stopped reading after a few chapters because the typos and grammatical errors were so irrating. Makes me wonder about the validity of the code samples. I've read similiar comments about other Wrox books on bookpool.com. Because of this I have not purchased any more Wrox books.
