This review is from: SAP Performance Optimization Guide: Analyzing and Tuning SAP Systems (Hardcover)

See my review of the 3rd edition of the SAP Performance and Optimization Guide. Not a whole lot has changed; most of the typos I found before are fixed, but not all. The chapter headings on each page on earlier editions are still lacking -- maybe this will be fixed in the next version.
