Good

Don't pay full price. Extremely academic overview of event-based systems, taxonomies of kinds of events, design patterns for event-based programming, etc. A few long examples in C# and VB.NET. Emphasizes multi-machine distributed event-processing systems. Worth a skim to remind yourself why events are great for decoupling modules in a system. You can have my copy if you pass it on.

Provides some deep insights into events and event based systems, but also comes with a lot of case studies I did not really care about.
