I bought this book directly from Packt Publishing during one of their $5 dollar bonanza deals, along with a handful of other Salesforce related titles from administration topics to apex development.As another reviewer stated, this book is for beginners just learning Salesforce, "It is laid out very well so that you can almost start it and get hooked to this book for hours without feeling any overburden. Sometimes I feel it is a bit over-simplified, but what else would you want when you are starting. I skipped/glanced through a lot of sections since I know most of the areas."It doesn't go too deep into any particular topic, but for a beginner that may be a good thing because the platform is quite overwhelming at first due to breadth of what's available. The book does do a good job giving overviews of the various concepts and topics listed in the index. At first, I felt like this only repeated what the free Salesforce online help docs already provide, and it does do that to a large extent, but where it shines is in the screen shots. Even with 2 years of full time advanced administration under my belt, I thought the screen shots and the author's personal comments/tips were quite valuable -- insight you don't get with the online help docs. That is a plus!One bit of advice I liked was the author's common sense tip in the chapter about creating custom fields. Yes, Salesforce makes it very easy to add custom fields -- a reason we all love the platform -- but it's also easy to fall into the trap of creating lots of fields without considering the consequences. The author provides about 3-4 good paragraphs explaining the pros/cons and what to consider before creating a custom field.
