You'll find information on .NET classes and legacy management tools that you need to manage your system, along with chapters on how to write scripts, manage errors, format output, and much more. Beginning with a whirlwind tour of Windows PowerShell, this convenient guide covers: PowerShell language and environment Regular expression reference PowerShell automatic variables Standard PowerShell verbs Selected .NET classes and their uses WMI reference Selected COM objects and their uses .NET string formatting .NET datetime formatting An authoritative source of information about PowerShell since its earliest betas, Lee Holmes' vast experience lets him incorporate both the "how" and the "why" into the book's discussions. His relationship with the PowerShell and administration community -- through newsgroups, mailing lists, and his informative blog Lee Holmes -- gives him insight into problems faced by administrators and PowerShell users alike. If you're ready to learn this powerful tool without having to break stride in your routine, this is the book you want.

Short concise reference July 28, 2008
[Published on http://msmvps.com/blogs/luisabreu/archive/2008/07/28/book-review-power-shell-pocket-reference.aspx]
Im really happy to have received a copy of this book. Its really a simple, easy to read, concise book which contains all you need to get started with PowerShell. You can easy read the book in 1 or 2 days (that is, if youre reading from cover to cover). If youre near a computer, then you can always try to run the examples and even try some new things on your own (being a concise book, youll find lots of references which you need to explore).
As you might expect, this is not a complete guide to Powershell. You wont also be getting info on how to build custom cmdlets or on how to extend Powershell.
Overall, Id say this is a good reference book that you should have by your side if youre starting working with Powershell. Im giving it 7/10.
