Good book

I purchased this book as a requirement for a Master's degree class. So far its been very good.

Great Book for the Basics, Not Much Else

If you know nothing of the subject, then this is an excellent book to start out with. The CD that comes with it even has helpful powerpoint presentations and quizzes to better help you retain the information. (My college "professor" was so lazy that he actually used the book's powerpoint presentations to teach the class... now there's a waste of tuition money). If you know the basics of OSM (and you probably do, because many of the principles are based on common sense), then don't get this book. Go find an intermediate/advanced OSM book that doesn't have lava all over the cover.
