Good breadth of coverage, but getting a bit dated. Similar to Tanenbaum, but more depth. Extensive examples, but rather shallow in its coverage, very little theory. Leaves out too much detail. Somewhat dated, but that's not a problem as the book concentrates on the theoretical foundations.
Case studies are out of date.
