This book is very in-depth. It provided more information than I needed, but I can see how it can be beneficial for someone building a website.

A good 100 page introduction to search engine optimization stretched to 388 pages including 60 pages of interviews with SEO consultants asking them about the current state of SEO and getting insights like "It's always changing" and it's "beginning to mature." And then there are the innumerable reminders not to use link farms to improve your search engine standings, often with references back to the prior reminders.
For those who need to know how to get their websites noticed by Google, the basics are here, and for many that's all that matters. It's a shame that business publishers feel the need to pad these things to justify their $40 for a paperback.
