Is this a good book to start off with to learn ASP?

I found this on E-Bay and heard that it's a good start.

Can anyone with experience in ASP confirm this?

Thanks

ASP 3.0 is old technology. Is there some reason to use ASP instead of
ASP.Net? Is the learning curve of .Net a factor? If you are going to
take the time out to learn ASP technology, I would recommend a newer
book on ASP.Net.

I've had that book for about 6 years. I still refer to it
occasionally. If you want to learn ASP 3.0, it's very good indeed.

I have that book as well. Lots of information (perhaps too much to
start with).

A smaller (thus easier to carry around), handy reference (also very
cheap) is Active Server Pages 3.0: Your Visual Blueprint for Developing
Interactive Web Sites (isbn 0764534726)
