The second edition book reads well and is presented very nicely. What it presents it seems to do well.
However, it stops short of presenting some major key information. The biggest two I've noticed so far are a total lack of information on setting up web hosting SSL (security) and nothing on setting up Ruby On Rails on Leopard server. What a shame. I believe the author would do a great job on the basics of such topics.
With the oversights of SSL security and Ruby On Rails (the essential web service), I find the book disappointing as a guidebook to OSX server, and feel wary of expecting it to be comprehensive of the "Essentials" on any of its topics. It's a shame, because the style and hands-on feel with all the screen captures is very effective presentation wise. If the web hosting oversights weren't so gaping (YMMV), I would give the book four stars for excellent presentation of the basics.

Regan and Pugh provide a pointed and clear overview of Leopard server fundamentals in their officially Apple-sanctioned guide book. The fact that it is targeted for admins, and geared for certification study kills two birds with one stone. I found the book very useful in bringing up a 10.5 server from install through providing distributed solutions via Netboot through tackling Apple's Open Directory. Overall, a very well-rounded reference I know I'll use over and over.
