Most recipe books contain good and bad advice with some pieces of code being a good starting point that can and should be improved. The problem is these books market their recipes as ready to go solutions. Unfortunately this book is more the rule than the exception.

Great EF bible! I would recommend it to anyone using Entity Framework because of many useful (sometimes priceless) tips and hints that show how the stuff works or how to make it work better.

Some examples/solutions seem to be hard to maintain (manipulating .edmx files) and as a person who is interested in Code First only approach I read a lot of stuff that I won't probably use.
