Recommend book on the various WinForms controls?

This one?

".NET Windows Forms in a Nutshell"

The reviews say it only covers the data grid for 6 pages. 
For such an
important component, that seems pretty sparse.

I reviewed this book for Addison Wesley and no, it does not
go into
individual controls.

Ian Griffiths books does a nice job though in my opinion
there really is
no book that details every available control.

I have Chris Sells' WinForms book, but it doesn't go much
into using the
various controls available to WinForms.

I think about purchasing Brian Noyes' "Data Binding
with Windows Forms
2.0: Programming Smart Client Data Applications with
.NET"

Does this book go much into using individual controls or do
I need
something something more specialized?

Thanks again guys.

Yes, that one.

Actually Brian's book does discuss the DataGrid but it's not
a complete
discussion by any means.
