Format:Paperback
First, the book is only 363 pages long, not 560 as identified in the Amazon description. So in my opinion a little over priced for the content.
Having said that, I found the book contained a lot of information that I wish had been in Server Essentials. Of course, considering that these are geared towards the Apple exams I suppose you have to give them some leeway.
As I am in the process of planning an OS 10.5 Server upgrade, this book has been helpful. I'm still hoping that someone will write more about Print Queue Management in OS 10.5. If you're looking for more info on that subject, you won't find it in here nor in Server Essentials.
Overall, if you're new to supporting OS 10.5 Server or migrating from 10.4 to 10.5, then this book has some helpful information - but maybe you can get lucky and find it at a discounted price. I don't feel it's really worth $65 but I'd consider $35 a fair deal.

I purchased this book to study for the 9L0-621 exam. I studied for about 2 weeks. I have roughly 4 years of experience administering OS X servers. I passed the exam today with a very comfortable score and earned my ACSA! I would recommend this book, although real life experience is also a must.

This book has everything you need for the 10.5 ACSA exam but the writing style is extremely dense. This writer uses programming in PERL for many examples so you need to have some rudimentary understanding to get the concepts behind them. You will find yourself needing to go over each page slowly to absorb everything. Take it slow and this book will give you everything you need. Note that you should be taking Directory Services and Deployment before you take this test. The first two are interchangeable but this one should be third.
