Phil Bishop and Nigel Warren have been pioneers in the use of JavaSpaces to build real systems that solve real problems.  This book is an excellent distillation of their accumulated wisdom on this subject, and will save any programmer using the technology far more time than it will take to read.  It is also well written and clearly presented, a rarity in technical books these days.  I learned a lot reading it. Jim Waldo, Distinguished Engineer at Sun Microsystems, lead architect for the Jini networking technology and JavaSpaces.
