 Great book to get you started December 11, 2008
Scott D. Estes (LaGrange, Kentucky USA)
I found this book to be a great resource both in preparing for and after deploying 3 ESX hosts in our network. I use this book as a reference frequently and highly recommend.
 Good learning book December 4, 2008
J. Snavely (Raleigh, NC United States)
This is currently the best learning book on the market for VMware, better than the inappropriately named VMware Certified Professional Test Prep.
This really provides enough information to begin using the product(s) effectively and is what I would provide a staffperson with no knowledge of VMware. I appreciate that it is a softcover book, making it much easier to read for me.
The only rub here is that VMware has excellent documentation of their own. A person reading only the documentation would have more pages to read, but would come away with a higher level of knowledge. I mentioned this is the book I would use to get someone up to speed, but if their goal was to pass the VCP test, I would direct them directly to the documentation. There's really no need to read anything else.
Excellent book but the text is too small. December 1, 2008
Carl Soper (Shelton, WA)
I've taken the VI3 course twice and this book goes into greater detail than the vendor course does. The author gives real world applications to many of the issues that VMWare administrators would face. He also presents more detailed explanations of ancilliary subjects such as SANs, command line functions and planning scenarios than you would find by attending the course.
However, the text is a little on the small side. Not enough to be much of a bother when going through the book generally, but trying to read the text in most of the screen shots without a magnifying glass is so difficult that I found myself ignoring the examples he gives. That's why I gave only four stars.
As far as the writing is concerned, I feel that the subject matter is right in line with the knowledge and skills that I know the author possesses. He has a distinct ability to explain a sometimes difficult subject in such a way that even those who are marginally acquainted with VMWare will be able to understand.
Great book, Chris! I just wish I could read it all without straining these middle-aged eyes.

I have used this book constantly, it is a great book which is laid out very well. I think it is a book for newbies and experts... as he seems to cover the topics very well and in depth.
Great book October 23, 2008

I used this book for preparing for VCP exam (Oct 2008) and found this very helpful in understanding the concepts as well as from exam point of view.
