Shill for Interwoven
If you believe that Interwoven's software is the way to go, then read this book. Otherwise, save your money and look elsewhere.

Even at [a low cost ], Not Worth It
This book can commonly be found used for [a low cost ]. I think that says a lot.

Coming from an editorial and project management background, I found this book to be worthless. It's terribly written, the topics are covered in a very general way, and it ignores important topics such as information modeling.

A much better book on the subject is "Managing Enterprise Content: A Unified Content Strategy" by Ann Rockley. However, Rockley's book goes beyond Web content management to include all forms of enterprise content (print, etc.). I plan to read Boiko's "Content Management Bible" next, which I hope will answer some of the questions I still have.

More depth please Mr Nakano
As a System Architect working with Enterprise Content Management (ECM) and particularly with Interwoven's Teamsite, I was eagerly awaiting the publication of a book that dealt with Content Management.
However, on recieveing the book I was disapointed to release once again that the subject had been treated at such a high level as to be nearly useless to someone who already works within the field.
I agree with other reviewers of the book that it does present a reasonable overview for those first dangling their feet in the CMS swamp.
However, there is currently a great need for a book on ECM where the underlying principles and process of specifying, creating and validating a "Content Architecture" and Management System are seriously considered.
Unfortunately this book is not it.
If I had the time or money I would write one myself.
Until then I keep my fingers crossed that Nakano is already working on one
