Microsoft has stopped supporting Liquid Motion. So basically, this book is obsolete.

Review of DocBook Publishing [Book and CD-ROM] [ILLUSTRATED] (Paperback)

For a complete beginner, this book is OK, otherwise I think people are going to find it light on the details. Of course, it's the details that are hard to discover and get right.

Also, space was devoted to topics that are not really germane, like CVS, Emacs and vi. Of course one has to edit DocBook files, but devoting 3 chapters (out of 12 total) seems like padding.
