There is no need to purchase this book as about 95% is just repackaged content from the built in help. The "hook" is that it is targeted at project managment. In reality any collaborative effort can be addressed with the tools SharePoint provides. Maybe you can write a whole series of books - "SharePoint for ...". You'd only need to change a small percent of the book each time.
As an example, here is a passage about versioning from the book:
When the version history feature is enabled, a new version of a document will be created
when:
• A list item or file is first created or uploaded. If file check-out is required, the file
must first be checked in in order to create the first version.
• An uploaded file has the same name as an existing file and the “Add as a new version
to existing files” option is selected.
• The properties of a list item or file are changed.
• A file is checked out, changed, and then checked back in. If you or another user
discards the checked-out version, no new version is created.
Here is what the built in help says:
When versioning is enabled, versions are created in the following situations:
- When a list item or file is first created or when a file is uploaded.
Note If file check-out is required, the file must first be checked in, in order to create its first version.
- When a file is uploaded that has the same name as an existing file and the Add as a new version to existing files check box is selected.
- When the properties of a list item or file are changed.
- When a file is opened, edited, and saved. A version is created when you first click Save. This version is updated with the latest changes that you make to the file before closing it.
Note A version is not created every time that you or another user clicks Save, because this would create too many versions.
- When a file is checked out, changed, and then checked back in.
Note If you or another user discards the checked-out version, no version is created.
