 Great guide for designing, building, implementing and supporting your portal solution
This book provides a great overview of most of the features and functionality you will need to implement a portal solution using Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. It not only discusses the features of SharePoint but it provides great tips and techniques on issues like planning, migrating, creating and governing your portal solution. In addition, it has some good how to sections which walks the reader through the implementation of certain features of the product.
 A SharePoint book for the end user, and their managers.
Unlike most SP books out there at the moment, isn't all about how to install, set-up, administer, and write custom code for a SP deployment. It's much more aimed at end users, and people who need to plan a collaboration strategy around a shared knowledge base.
While a lot of it is management-theoretical in the first few chapters, it's sensible advice that gets one to think about things that are necessary to address, but wouldn't automatically have come to mind. The central message of "the 4 Cs" communication, collaboration, consolidation, and consistency help one to both recognize what's good, and also how to get there.
I think that chapters 1-3 are required reading for anyone in a human management role who will be involved with rolling out SharePoint as a collaboration tool.
Chapters 4-7 are more aimed at admins, so I skipped them.
Chapter 8 is great for individual site planning with "how to" and, more importantly "why to" and "when not to" advice on blogs, wikis, team sites, and their coherent integration.
The fastest payback for a reader comes in Appendix A which documents 24 things that a SP user needs to know how to do, from adding a files to a document library, to targeting information visibility by audience type.
Great SharePoint book for Architects and Business Analysts
Essential SharePoint 2007 provides amazing guidance on how to architect your site. This book starts with high level concepts that any team implementing a collaboration solution should know. Although there is not a lot of detail on how to customize SharePoint with the object model or through code, this a great book for Business Analysts and Architects looking to improve their skills as well as junior developers wanting to understand how to build a system correctly. If you design and build SharePoint sites and have not read this book, I would recommend reading it. Keep in mind this book is not about developing on SharePoint, as the book points out - this book discusses higher level topics and shows how to interact with SharePoint through the user interface.
A good book that fills in the gaps
I have done a number of sharepoint implementation as a consultant, and I would say that this book offers the same type of strategy I've known for the last few years. When tackling a sharepoint implementation a number of questions are needing to be answered. Most people do not know what to ask and what to take into consideration. I would say if you read this book, you'll at least have the basic questions ready and an understanding on how to match the portal capabilities to the needs of the organization. Chapters 1 - 7 offer a good insight on how to plan out the portal. Governance alone is a great topic, most companies don't even consider it. Most companies think that you turn it on and it runs, this book looks at how to keep the portal relevant in the business.
One area that is not covered is IRM, although this is a big topic, and worthy of a book in itself, it should at least had a section or a chapter dedicated to it. I didn't see one.
I recommend this book as a great resource for planning a portal implementation, its high level, but gets the point across and gives plenty to consider.
Good overview of MOSS 2007 Features
Good overview of the product. Give architects and generalists a quick feature listing, with some depth on working with the features. If you're a developer it will help you know what's there to work with, but no real coding samples. If you're an administrator, then this definately is helpful.
