I haven't seen this book, but I occasionally do technical reviews for Rampant and I must say that the books that I've seen so far are rather good and make good sense (I've seen chapters of Arup's book and Stpehen Andert's book about wait event interface). I seriously intend to buy both of those books when they appear on the market. Knowing the company, I seriously doubt that they would be publishing rubbish. It probably is a good and useful book.

material you can get for free from the docs? I hear his Unix for DBAs and Wait Statistic books are pretty good(though have some inaccuracies).
