5.0 out of 5 stars Thank you sir, can I have another?, February 7, 2009

By	kiki-knows-best "kiki-knows-best" (Prescott Valley, AZ United States) - See all my reviews

I turn to this book first, then to the other MOSS Administrative books for more detail if needed. I love that I can just read a chapter in this book and "get it" and if I need more depth, I turn to the Best Practices book. This should be on your shelf as part of your MOSS success strategy, you won't be sorry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best overall Quick Reference SharePoint Book, January 14, 2009

By	B Hyde (Huntsville, AL) - See all my reviews

This is the best overall quick reference book on SharePoint. During my SharePoint consulting days, this was the one book I would never go to a client site without. It includes a great reference of STSADM commands. It is a great book for a SharePoint newbie or a seasoned professional.
