From a book perspective though, it's too big to be a "pocket guide" (it won't fit in any of my pockets -- even cargo sized ones), and it's too disjointed to be a 200-page book. It needs more narrative to connect the ideas, and perhaps less focus on the lists.
It's a good quick reference that I'll keep around, but more because I like the authors, Net Objectives, and their ideas than for the merits alone of this book.
