More importantly, all of the programs have been updated for J2SE 5.0 and should make good starting points for your own code. You won't find any toy examples here.

Questo consistente manuale di Java in due volumi è estremamente interessante e utile per chi un pochetto già ne capisce di programmazione.

This book goes into a good amount of detail about most topics it covers. It does however spend less time than I would have liked on things like generics. Overall, it is probably the best non-single-topic-specific Java series book I have read.
