A must have if you work with VoIP

Even if the book is not perfectly written, in the sense that there are some typos and some glitches in the explanations, it is still a wonderful source to learn Asterisk configuration.
The book alone won't do everything for you, you'll need to read all sample configuration files from Asterisk installation, check as many pages as you can from voip-info.org, and play with configurations as much as possible. So, the book is about one fourth and the friendliest portion of what you need to master Asterisk. Go for it.
Disorganized, a lot of typos

This is a book where you can see niether the author or the publisher paid much attention to detail, there are a lot of errors.
It does help on understanding a little about Asterisk if you are an absolute beginner, but if you managed to install an Asterisk server based on the information already avaliable in the wikipedia at voip-info.org then you dont need this book.
The good thing: this is the first effort to document Asterisk for the public, there is no other good book to compare it at this moment, I hope the second edition corrects all the errors.
Finally, a cohesive overview of Asterisk

I've been working with Asterisk for six months and the documentation on the Internet is either scant or too technical. Thankfully this book fills in a lot of gaps and provides a better overall picture to me. I recommend this book and thank the author for helping me get my work done.
