Its a 160 page book in large type. Nothing in it. Plus its loaded with inaccuracies. Especially the garbage about cache hit ratio. The best beginner book for tuning is 'Tuning 101'. Its very good. You ever use embarcadero tools? I downloaded their SQL tuner. All it did was throw in every hint possible and re-run the queries. Complete piece of garbage.

Just because someone speaks well does not mean they have a good book.
