Really? I flipped through it in the bookstore and didn't find much of value to a long-time UNIX user. Specifically, I wanted to see much more discussion about netinfo and other darwin/osx-isms that you don't find on other *NIXes. The coverage of netinfo was pretty much limited to "there's a utility called nidump, and another called niutil", but no coverage on how to add a new group, etc. (You can limp through by reading the copious online docs and manpages though.)
