Like Priscilla, I have not heard of the Parkhurst book. I was
able to read through the Parkhurst BGP guide and it was pretty
good in terms of hands on configuration and troubleshooting.
In my humble opinion, you cannot get a better bang for your
buck than Beau Williamson's "Developing IP Multicast
Networks". His style is easy to read, entertaining, and most
of all technically accurate. He devotes adequate time to each
major area of IP multicast. Some areas you will need to get up
to speed with if you want to be successful are(I am assuming
you are doing a Cisco IP multicast solution):
DVMRP interoperability (for connecting to the Mbone)
PIM Sparse mode
CGMP
PIM Dense mode (to a lesser degree)
I had to dig and search for the link that Beau Williamson gave
me after Networkers for the most current info. I found the
link and it is here(paste this into your web browser):
ftp://ftpeng.cisco.com/ipmulticast/index.html
This may help also:

chdoc.shtml
Bear in mind, the page is not pretty, but there are some real
nuggets there. It is loaded right off the Cisco Engineering
site. As a starter, make sure your underlying unicast routing
is stable.
