It's Ivor Horton not Hortan.
Beginning Java 2, JDK 5 Edition it's a good book for beginners and
it's definitely better for Java learners than his other book that
teaches Visual C++.
Unless you want the older version of his Java book: Beginning Java 2,
SDK 1.4 Edition

Don't ask what a book can teach you, ask what you want to learn from
that book. There are TOCs for free and sample chapters that can give
you an idea if it fits your requirements.
