 Skip This Book, No Bible Here November 15, 2008
I have used the bible series books before with great success, but this one falls seriously short. It's amazing how 700+ pages just don't cut it. I would however recommend instead... Noel/Spence's "Microsoft SharePoint 2007 Unleashed" published by SAMS.
Not thorough-mostly info available for free from Microsoft Office Online July 15, 2008
Skip it-Real basic stuff already available for free from Microsoft online and covered in more useful detail. Definitely not up to the title Sharepoint Bible. There are much better Sharepoint resources for your money that cover scenarios that represent real world tasks you are likely to come across that aren't just a single point & click in the Sharepoint. http://www.amazon.com/Real-World-SharePoint-2007-Indispensable/dp/0470168358 is one example I do recommend.
 Good reference for End Users February 5, 2008

I was reccomended this book by a collegue as the only book I would need to get up to speed on MOSS. That was not a very good reccomendation. It is very weak on the setup, configuration and Share Service Provider aspects of managing a MOSS environment. It also has nothing of relevance on doing Web Parts.
What is is very strong in is end user tasks, such as building and maintaining list and document libraries. It also has some great content on customizing the envrinment and branding. The SharePoint Designer is also introduced as well.
If you are a normal office worker who is responsible for maintaining the content for your group or team, this is an excellent book. If you are a network admin or a developer this would be a good book to have, but do not expect anything very deep.

Disappointing... December 2, 2007
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I'm a great fan of the "Bible" series, and bought this book largely on that prior experience. Unfortunately, this one is not a worthy addition to the series, to put it mildly. I'm a new SharePoint site administrator, and was looking for something that would combine pros and cons of various features I could deploy, as well as technical tips and tricks for the site. The authors devote little if no space to explaining key features and why an administrator might, or might not, choose to use them.
For example, Document Libraries are a main feature. My online training devoted an entire course module to them. This book? Four sentences of overview.
Also, you better love numbered lists, because that's a huge part of the book. And most of these lists are simply click-by-click recitations of your steps, without much explanatory detail. For a low level admin being told exactly what to do, someone that can't follow the GUI without being handheld, maybe that person could benefit. But for everyone else...
I will not get my money's worth out of this book, and will be forced to buy something else instead. A big disappointment.
