    Inadequate

    I found the Apple documentation to be much more clearly written. The chapter on DNS was more apologetic than helpful. It seems to me that a book entitled "for Dummies" should not get bogged down with concepts only useful to large organizations. I wanted a manual for a single server shop, and this was not it.

    Solid information but could uses a better index for topics

    This is a how to by a professional on Search Engine Optimization. The index needs to be more complete as searching through a 1000 pages for the answer to some relatively straight forward questions is a bit much.
    It also might be helpful if a DVD was included with some additional information.
