   Unless this edition is at least two orders of magnitude better than the   
   first edition it will contain too many misunderstandings and   
   misconceptions to be worth shelf space.   
      
   Wrox Press books are written formulistically and often lack adequate   
   technical review. I would be certain that the book has not been   
   technically reviewed (competently) because the publication date leaves   
   no time for a full technical review based on C++11 and an adequate   
   response by the authors.   
      
   If you expect this book to be a genuine guide for a professional   
   programmer you would be mistaken.   
      
   Now a caveat, I have not seen this edition so my comments are based on   
   the quality of the first edition and the general track record of the   
   publisher.
