I have the book (and CD) on my shelf above my machines in my home office. I vaguely recall buying this at Costco, around the same time I bought the 4 volume Microsoft Press C++ series (for dirt cheap, at the time) from Costco.
MS Press used to publish some amazing references. I have a LOT of 'em.
Just scroll down the page and look at the size of the completely self-contained executable programs. THIS is what Win32 is capable of. Something we always had with Win32 that was thrown away with .Net and C#.

Save Page As, Select All, Take Screenshot, View Page Source, Inspect Accessibility Properties, and Inspect.
And one additional entry for uBlock Origin at the bottom of the menu (Block Element).
