If you can get past the misspellings and awkward writing style, this book presents a nice introduction to P2P networking. The book's contributors all seem to be experts in this field, so I'm surprised that they allowed the book to be released before it was properly edited.

This book has all the hallmarks of an excellent book,including simplicity
of style,and in particular,an uncanny balance between the broad
picture and the details.
The authors start by putting Project JXTA in a global context and comparing it with other technologies and indirectly hinting at the ethical and political issues involving P2P networks.And then over the subsequent few chapters they make a very smooth and organic transition to details of various protocols and APIs.
The authors have thereby solved the classic dilemma of the forest versus the trees - either you are high up in the clouds
passively admiring the beauty of the forest or you are lost in the woods screaming for help at every step.Often authors forget this dilemma and are either lost in generalities or in details.
I heartily recommend this book to anyone and everyone.
