To purchase a copy of the book please follow this link.
The best view to present from the lulu site is probably this one: http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/david_lundell as it has the brief description of the book and the author bio.
You also have the ability to preview a few parts of the book
The book came out to be 258 pages from cover to cover, and yes we included an index! By publishing it through Lulu.com (a Print on Demand company) we got to be much more in control of the whole process, and had faster time to market.
Here are some comments from folks that have had access to pre-release copies:
“This first volume is really one for the bookshelf, close at hand. Really looking forward for more of this! … David and Brad did a good job on this first volume, by breaking up the information in to digestible pieces. And the great sense of humor makes it nice to read” – Peter Geelen, FIM MVP, Sr. Consultant Identity Management, Traxion
“I found this to be a valuable, clear and thorough guide to the FIM 2010 installation and setup process.” – Glenn Zuckerman, Microsoft Corporation
“The volume is well laid out and provides loads of detail.” – Craig Martin, FIM MVP, Sr. Manager, Edgile
