Great for project managers. Poor for developers. 
There simply aren't enough examples to articulate the writers' points. I was a little let down by this book because I wanted to get both an overview of Commerce Server and a bit more detail in the API. I'm learning that Commerce Server is much like chess -- it takes a few minutes to learn, and a lifetime to master. This book is supposed to guide its reader from design to coding and implementation as well as testing. Instead, it only handles design and very basic uncommon development scenarios.
I feel this book would be better geared to a project manager or architect trying to learn how Commerce Server can be beneficial to an eCommerce project; however, I don't feel a developer can properly learn to use Commerce Server from this book.
Amazing 
. I found the portions written by Clayton Peddy to be
Amazing, I can not stress how much this book changed
the way I think about the subject.
-5 Stars - Worthless and next to useless 
If you plan on building a commerce server web site and don't know commerce server already this book won't help you. Don't waste your time with this book, The sample site doesn't build the examples they do give in the book aren't even used in their code. In fact, even if you do know commerce server this book won't help you. With out a doubt the most worthless, development book I have ever had the miss fortune to read. I have found one use for it. . . as a monitor stand.
