Not as useful as the book as a whole, but it may prove helpful for those who haven't bought it yet.

But you can't get much more from a book, than you would find in the excelent man-pages oder other documentation.

Granted, the OpenBSD manual pages are of very high quality. But a book author can guide a reader through various topics. A good example (a manual page no less;) of guidance is "man afterboot" on OpenBSD, but a book have different constraints/liberties than a manual page. The intended readers of a manual page are very different from most books.
In many sciences, publishing overview/"newbie" articles are very common. For experimental sciences you have meta studies published as well. The information is "out there", but we depend on other to make summaries. Operating systems are, of course, no exception to this.

it's an easy way to get started with openbsd. if you have been "using" openbsd for some time, the book lacks depth. nothing new, just a different way to present the knowledge.
but the refreshrate of this media is fscking awsome. ;)
