I have had my fair share of ramping up others on creating SharePoint solutions, and I know thats not an easy task, there is a lot of tacit knowledge you gain only by using the product. Creating Solutions for SharePoint sometimes requires a lot of lateral thinking.
Judging from the TOC, I have a feeling that its definitely a worthy addition to our arsenal of SharePoint references.
