This book was re-released in 2nd edition in 2006, but didn't go to print until late 2007. It was really a great book, and an easy read with little technical jargon. Martin has such vast experience and great little tidbits and stories. It was cool that I got to help read and edit a little before the final was sent to print. I'm even in the acknowledgements, which was really cool, and very generous.

Excellent book. Mostly stuff you'd know from common sense, but extremely valuable as a comprehensive resource.
