    Couldn't be better. Very much looking forward to have this book in my shelf which almost addresses every question I was asking myself as an SOA Architect and was referring so many articles and documentations across the internet. One in all. Good one. -Mahesh

    I bought the book and cannot believe the gold-mine of information! I was very impressed with the concrete approach to each topic. It seems unlikely that a single book could cover so much so comprehensively, but it really is an "All in One" type of resource. Great job, guys! -Roger
