This book is supposed to provide: "crucial performance-related information for users of all experience levels."
That is false. The book is a ripoff of content from the main Drupal site drupal dot org. Nearly the entire book consists of, here is module X, go download it from drupal dot org and enable it, oh and let's pad the pages by giving you the enabling steps for each module we suggest.
The book devotes 50, count 'em 50 pages to how to update Drupal. This is ridiculous. All of that information is available in the Drupal handbook pages online or in the API docs or in more concise format in books such as 'Using Drupal' which will give you a lot more value.
You would be better off to join the high-performance group on drupal dot org (Google for high performance group drupal, it is the first result, since Amazon removes links) and read the drupal dot org handbook pages.
You can find the rest of my review at nowarninglabel dot com, which is my blog.

I bought this book the day it came out, since I work on Drupal performance problems for a living. Unfortunately, the book is often off topic (upgrades, etc), doesn't really address any of the serious issues well, and doesn't seem to be focused on any particular audience.
Unfortunately, I'd call it a flop. It's definitely a "dissapointing" rating: not worth the money, and not worth buying.
I hope the next effort is better.

To make $80/ hour using Drupal, first spend $40 on this book :)
The highest paid Drupal consultants know how to scale the platform. Trevor lets you peek into that performance oriented world with this book.
Trevor covers caching, memcache, database optimization and serious developer tools for Drupal. Surprisingly, these topics are not covered in depth other places.
Dries Buytaert, founder of Drupal, says the Drupal community should focus on building Drupal's presence in shared hosting type environments, not the enterprise, in his DrupalCon keynote this year.
Drupal 6 Performance Tips is not a book about how to knock out many small Drupal sites quickly (though it would help you with the one off type sites, if they ever got traffic).
My point: Read this to get jobs at corporations running Drupal for large scale, production web sites. Upgrading, running multi-site Drupal installations and other big time consumer Internet topics are all covered.
