Having used ArchiMate for the past few months (with guidance from an ArchiMate guru) I decided to read the specification.

The specification is fairly dry reading, quite academic at times and is more of a reference guide. I found myself wanting a more practical book so have subsequently ordered what has been highly recommended to me; "Mastering ArchiMate - Edition II" by Gerben Wierda.
