This book is well-written and covers a good range of SharePoint topics. I find it more readable than "The Definitive Guide" (Pyles et al.), another O'Reilly book on the subject. I haven't done a side-by-side comparison of topics covered, but I would definitely recommend reading this one first if you're new to SharePoint.
