It's not a bad book (which is why I gave it 2 stars) and if you're a "complete and utter beginner" it's well written. There are a whole bunch of "learning PowerShell" books which is no doubt why the publishers decided to use this name to differentiate the book but it's misleading and should really have been entitled: "Learning Windows PowerShell 2.0: An Introduction to Automating Windows Server 2008 R2 Administration".
Over the years I have found Sybex books to be hit and miss and this one, for me at least, falls into the latter category.
