It would be a MUCH better book with a different title
It is much more of an overview than a guide. While this work may be "The Official Guide" it is a long way from complete or authoratative. It is an excleent overview or enhancements book for readers with a technical background.

I found the book useful as a new DB2 user but what I had purchased the book for was to learn DB2 and it was incomplete for that purpose. .

A great TECHNICAL review of DB2 UDB V8
I needed to keep on top of the new features in DB2 -- though for the wrong reasons (we are an Oracle business partner), I def'ly got to see all the new features with deep technical explanations and even examples; pretty neat stuff from IBM I must say. This is a great book for what I do. I looked at the What's New Guide that was referenced in other comments before buying this book, hoping to save a buck. Too bad they don't have a review forum for that book, horrible. All marketing fluff. Don't bother trying to find it -- it will only make you mad. Buy this book.

Already covered in What's New Guide
I had already read the What's New manual and found much of that repeated here. I was disappointed in the depth of the material.
