This Book belongs to HP's Catalog!
This book should be included in a HP catalog as part of its "tutorial" section. It should be free and certainly does not worth the money. It took me about an hour to read through the book when I was sipping my coffee at Borders. After finishing the book, I found my coffee worth more to me than the book. If you want to learn Fibre Channel, you don't need any book. Just go to the internet. If you really like to spend your money, put your money on a booklet published by the Fibre Channel Association...

An excellent book! Explains Fibre Channel thoroughly.
I found Ralph Thornburgh's book, Fibre Channel for Mass Storage, to be a very useful source of information about the new technology of Fibre Channel. It is logically laid out, taking the reader from the very rudiments of Fibre Channel to a discussion of the highly-complex subject of Hewlett-Packard's addressing schemes.The book is written in simple terms and features many useful illustrations. It really worked for me. I work in Information Technology at a very large financial institution in Sacramento. As a result, it's imperative that I stay up to date on the latest technologies, especially mass storage and connectivity. For the most part, the book is well done. I especially enjoyed the presentation of HP's latest Fibre Channel products. However, I would caution the editors to exercise a newer approach to book design, as some of the page layout elements seem to interfere with the development of the text. In conclusion, I believe your money is well spent in buying this book. It provides a complete definition of Fibre Channel (from the HP perspective) in only about 150 pages. A longer book wouldn't have served me nearly as well.
