Sorry this is off topic, but Janice's books are bad enough that I just have to add my $0.02. I personally think these are the two worst books on the subject. For instance, "how do you add a user?" She answers, essentially "Use SMC or read the useradd man page". Gee, thanks. That's really helpful. If you're going to learn that way, save yourself ~$60. and just read all the system man pages.
I would recommend Solaris Operating Environment Boot Camp as a very good, thorough and practical introduction to Solaris administration. I was on the job and needed some practical guidance on steps to take and this book was more realistic for someone like me who admins boxes from the command-line over ssh. I don't have the luxury of using SMC for all my admin tasks.
Sorry, I couldn't help it. Those Winsor books are just plain bad, IMO.
