Poor quality, dated, and a nonstandard distro. You can read what there
is worth reading from it at O'Reilly's website.
Going agains my usual recommendations, Sams has a nice introductory
Debian book. It's ***NOT*** the fat "Debian GNU/Linux Unleashed"
volume, but a thin (1/2 inch or so) introductory guide.
Thomas Down, _Installing Debian GNU/Linux, Sams, 11/1999, $19.95.
197 pp.
ISBN: 0672317451

Includes a 2.1 Slink installation disk (you can use this to install the
base system, then upgrade via apt-get over the 'Net).
Documentation at the Debian website, and this list, are probably your
best bets.
The 2.0 "Official Debian" book is a bit dated.
General GNU/Linux books (_Running Linux_, _Linux In a Nutshell_) and a
good sysadmin book (Nemeth or Frisch) are your best general bets.
