What the publisher says: 

Thomas Verner Moore (1818-1871) was an American Presbyterian minister and theologian whose commentaries on Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi are still widely referred to. Here he writes practically and devotionally on the appearances of the Lord Jesus Christ to his disciples between the Resurrection and the Ascension. Each encounter deals with specific a spiritual condition in one or more of his followers and these still find their parallels in the experience of Christians at all times.

My thoughts:

This is an incredible book, no exaggeration. With Pentecost coming on June 4, I challenge you to buy the book and read it (only 184 pages) between now and then. It's the only book I have run across that focuses solely on the 40 days between Jesus's resurrection and his Ascension. And, Moore does such an amazing job at it, it's no wonder that the book is still in print, though first published in 1858.

I had never given much thought to who Jesus appeared to after the resurrection, and when, and in what order. T.V. Moore's thesis makes perfect sense. God surely had a hand in inspiring Moore's thoughts. Amazing book!
