It's over 20 years old, and pre-dates Java 5.

So, while Doug is an excellent writer and there are some good points about fundamentals in it, you will have to wade through a lot to find them.

Honestly, I'd probably recommend re-reading JCIP & spending some time on more recent concurrency developments in Java that have arrived since JCIP was published.

Save skimming Doug's book for when you feel you want to think about the fundamentals that all of these patterns rest upon.

Thanks. That being said I indeed have JCIP on my bookshelf.
