This book gives a good overview of Administrative considerations for a SharePoint 2010 deployment. I found it particularly useful in thinking about an approach to designing site topology and governance rules, which was why I bought the book in the first place. Not the place to go if you want all the technical details, but great for thinking about planning a deployment.

Nice book to read and to have near even if you are either a beginner or an expert in the field.
