My personal opinion:
As of this writing, this book is one of the best FreeBSD 6/7 paper resources available to users/sysadmins.
Unlike most technical books, it doesn't put me to sleep, thanks to a dry sense of humor frequently injected by Lucas.
There is a ton of fundamental FreeBSD OS information covering a lot of areas (identified in the product description, obviously). There are also several terse but useful primers for common protocols and services such as: TCP/IP, DNS, Apache httpd, MTAs, etc.
Worth the $$. Enjoy.
