If you want an introductory Bordermanager administration book, then this book will fulfill your needs. Laura does a good job of introducing Bordermanager in the first few chapters. The rest of the book is on Proxy & VPN setup\configuration, and troubleshooting. If you're new to Bordermanager then I would recommend that you download all the Bordermanager Pdfs from Novell's documentation site. Since it is an admin book, containing much material pertaining to administrators, don't expect much on the Bordermanager basics. Again, go to Novell's documentation site for that. I would also add that some chapters will aid you in the Bordermanager exam, specifically the chapters on Proxy & VPN.

I used this book recently in setting up a Border Manager 3.6 server for my network and found that the book is out of date to an extent because it covers Border Manager 3. None the less, it gave me enough info to get the server up and running and also helped me with studying for the Border Manager 3.5 exam which I just passed. As I said, it is for version 3 of Border Manager so not every thing is the same way but I will at least get you started.
