Great overview and reference - By: Mr. Rd O'donnell, 10 Feb 2008 
This book is a great overview of what can be achieved with MOM. If you are new to integration/messaging, as I was, this book is an invaluable resource to get you up to speed on the major concepts & challlenges faced by developers using this technology.
The book is vendor independent, although a lot of examples are shown for JMS or MQMQ, the concepts could easily be applied to other MOM technologies such as WebSphere MQ.
A Must Have Reference - By: A.S., 02 Feb 2008 
This is one of those books that I have kept refering to through various stages of my career & I have always found it invaluable. This is the book that you pick up every now & then, read a couple of chapters depending on what you are working on & it never disappoints.
If something you do or see doesnt look or feel right, this is the book that will give you the reason why it isnt.
I thoroughly recommend this book for anyone who is a senior developer, software architect, solution architect or enterprise architect.

Formalise you're learning regarding Messaging - By: Mr. M. J. Small, 02 Apr 2006 
I use Tibco RendezVous amongt a few other lesser known messaging products & enjoyed this book as it reinforced what I had already learned from experience & furthered this some more. None of the content is rocket science, but then that's what makes it easy to pickup & make sense of. I also liked the way the author made a solid effort to apply examples to multiple platforms/packages. It makes you realise how it's much more important to come up with the right design first at an enterprise level & you can then pick the appropriate product afterwards.
Makes clear a difficult topic - By: Szilágyi Donát, 26 Sep 2005 
The book shows how to convert integration problems to smalll patterns & how to implement these patterns.
The new thing here is the adding a smalll icon to each pattern, what enables us designing the integration as a circuit diagram.
If you are using C#/MSMQ or JMS, you will find enough code fragments to implement the patterns.
But you won't find info about building or deploying your application or configuring your environment, so keep the documentation from your vendor at hand as well.
