Books for Windows Gadget Programming

These are 2 decent books on developing gadgets for Windows. Unfortunately, they do not cover Windows 7 but are still quite useful (with small modifications - see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd370867(VS.85).aspx ) for Windows 7 gadget development. They are:

1. "Creating Vista Gadgets: Using HTML, CSS and JavaScript with Examples in RSS, Ajax, ActiveX (COM) and Silverlight" by Rajesh Lal; Paperback; $25.49

2. "Professional Windows Vista Gadgets Programming (Programmer to Programmer)"Wei-Meng Lee; Paperback; $0.01

I liked Mr. Lee's book more since it contained detailed usable code.
