I realize this sounds... egotistical; but I had to go check. It would take me days to come up with a complete CV, I don't even track the articles / chapters / etc. anymore. Just the whole books and the cover articles (which, by the way, I am scheduled for the May cover article for WindowsITPro!)
I did part of the tech editing on the 2007 book. I helped write the 2010 book. Regards, Michael B.

I'm more than cool with it, but I've never touched 2010, and I've barely touched 2007.... so, I was delighted to recall the thread here from about a week ago and found the thread started by smsadm on Feb 16, 2011 with two specific book recommendations on Exchange 2010. I looked at the kit of the two books that was recommended - unavailable right now. so I looked at them separately: Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Best Practices<http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Exchange-Server-2010-Practices/dp/0735627193/ref=pd_cp_b_1> by Jagott & Stidley And: Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Inside Out<http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Exchange-Server-2010-Inside/dp/0735640610/ref=pd_sim_b_2> by Tony Redmond I started reaching for the credit card, however, when I realized that they were 900 and 1200 pages, respectively, I paused (because I have 9 days, 1 wife, and 2 boys - ages 5 & 4). I'm not averse to reading (a definite requirement in our field), however trying to dig through something of that magnitude in that timeframe probably isn't going to happen... So, I dug, and found this book, which looks like it might be a good starting point (before I delve into the other two). Exchange 2010 - A Practical Approach<http://www.amazon.com/Exchange-2010-Practical-Jaap-Wesselius/dp/1906434328/ref=sr_1_9?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1298664858&sr=1-9>, by Jaap Wesselius Before I jump head first into this, any other suggestions? Obviously I know it won't substitute for more detailed info, but I feel like I need a broad overview before I start going deep.
