A book written by a lawyer seldom are very readable, and this is barely an exception to this statement. It does a good job of going thru the most common licenses, paragraph by paragraph, and ends with some interesting views on Open Source and its legal limitations. Boring as it is, it is very interesting if you enjoy the subject, but you shouldn't buy this if you're new to OSS and wants an overview of the legal implications, as it is written for a semi-legal audience.

Not bad, but nothing to recommend, except to the already faithful.
