This book has been superseded by AC 00-45F, 2007-11-24
This item has had a major update by the FAA, and has been republished by ASA (Aviation Supplies and Academics). Amazon does not yet carry it, although it's been available for several months. The current version, if you want it, is on the FAA web site and is labeled AC 00-45F. The update addresses many of the concerns I expressed in my review of the previous version (below).
______________

The old version, AC 00-45E, was very comprehensive but... This volume looks like the old software manuals that were written by programmers rather than by technical writers. Lots of detail but laid out poorly, and some of the explanations left me thinking, "Huh?"

Unlike Aviation Weather, which was obviously written by people who loved what they were doing, Aviation Weather Services looks like it was written by people who simply wanted to be done with it.

A necessary tool for pilots, 2002-11-20
This gives insight and takes out the mystery to decoding aviation weather. The AIM provides a good explanation, but this book details EVERYTHING with explanations for why things are done as they are.
