 Not for Trixbox in anyway
If you are thinking about using this as a guide for trixbox installation (formerly asterisk@home) think again. Not very helpful. :-(
(Useless) -- Revised: Not the best book, but has some useful info
This is the first book in the "for Dummies" series that I have bought. I do not consider myself a "dummy", an idiot or a moron, but there are few books on Asterisk basics and this book is rather new, so I thought I would give it a chance. My mistake...
br /
br /I am using two Linksys/Sipura ATA, one SPA3102 and one PAP2T, this book only covers TDM-cards and Zapata drivers. There is nothing useful on dialplans/extensions, and not much useful on other subjects either. I do not know who the intended audience for this book would be, and I find it hard to believe that a "dummy" or anyone else would be able to do anything useful with Asterisk using this book as guide or reference.
br /
br /Buy some other book, or just google for the information you need. The latter will be much quicker, more productive and less frustrating. (If anyone wants a slightly used specimen of this book, you can pick it up for free in Stockholm, Sweden.)

br /Revised March 30, 2008:
br /I have used a bunch of different books on Asterisk, and information from the web, since I wrote this review. I have realized that I was a bit too harsh when I first wrote this. There are better books on Asterisk, but I must admit that I have found some useful information in this book on some occasions.
br /
br /If you are going to buy one or two books on the subject, I would probably recommend starting with Asterisk: The Future of Telephony and Building Telephony Systems with Asterisk, in this order.
br /
br /I am also looking forward to the printed edition of the English translation of Practical Asterisk 1.4: From Beginner to Expert (the translation in progress is available at [...] with a link to the German original). I have found the alpha version of the translation very useful on several subjects.
 Not too good for beginners;
This book I purchased with great expectation. But this books' many examples are not very clear. I had to refer another book to understand this book well.
