This book is one of my favorite SharePoint books in terms of introducing people to the platform. Readers are introduced to the features of SharePoint at a nice, introductory pace. The differences between Windows SharePoint Services and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 are clearly explained. I like to recommend this book to anyone who is looking for an introduction to SharePoint.
