Not what I was looking for 
If you're looking for a reference book on the product, that goes into how to configure or upgrade from an earlier version--Keep Looking. If you're looking for a "what's new in SQL Server 2005" this book covers that.
The book explains new features in some detail. But, I want to know how to place the databases in a specific directory, how to set up replication--not mirroring; and how to install the software remotely. The book does not discuss any of that.
Excellent SQL 2005 Coverage 
There is a lot to cover so it doesn't go into deep depth, but it does give you a good overview and points you in the right direction to find more information out on a particular topic by making sure you have a great introduction. This book does an awesome job of hitting everything that is new in SQL 2005.
always been a fan
The information in them is always presented with enough detail and with a technical person in mind. I've always been a fan of these series of technical books. Great reference book.
