From the Publisher's site
This is a unique resource focused exclusively on the needs of developers using MCMS. It doesn’t waste time and pages on user or administrator level information that is well covered in other documentation. It’s a distillation of practical experience that developers need to get results, fast. The authors carefully structured example project complements and extends the knowledge gained from an initial look at the examples that ship with MCMS.

"Years of active participation in MCMS newsgroups and mailing lists mean that the authors’ hard-won experience puts them in the ideal position to tell you what you really need to know to master the system."

An example site is developed throughout the book, at every point providing clear and practical demonstrations of the relevant ideas. Once you have mastered the basics, the book leads you onto more advanced and powerful techniques, allowing you to get the most from this awesome system.

I was going to request a review copy but I think I'd get slapped for being a cheap-skate :)
