Erm, I think I am in your position. I have yet to find a good java.Swing
book, BUT:

"Java Programmer's Reference" by Grant Palmer, published by Wrox
(ISBN:1-861004-22-2) is a pretty good book that has a fair bit on swing,
costing GB�25.99 or US$34.99.

note - it is similar to O'Reilly's "Java in a Nutshell" - which is also a
good book. HOWEVER, the Wrox book is far more indepth. - You could think of
both books as a 'dictionary' of java. Assuming you understand the basic
concepts of Java's OO implementation, you should find the Wrox book the best
reference book available...

And no. I don't work for Wrox <grin>

Have fun, and Good luck!

Greg
