As a practicing Enterprise Architect (EA) I have found the to be an good book for reference - if used as a filler along with other books.

If your are new to EA this is a good book to have in your library, however it is not the only one you will need. This book is somewhat thin on content in many critical areas, but what is present is of fairly good quality.

An example of missing detail would be how to create and maintain an ongoing EA practice that will survive beyond the first budget review cycle. This book talks about the steps of creating a practice in theory and uses a sample company as an example, however it is idealized for the book and does not reflect reality in today's world of "what have you done for me lately" economics.

It is quite expensive for what you get, considering that it is just enough to make you realize that you need a whole lot more that you did not get.

I have not gone through the whole book but going through the first 3 chapters I kind of liked the pace at which the book is written. The fundamentals are clearly documented with equal emphasis on product , process and people. Nice clear diagram to covey the concepts. I think it is a good buy.
