Good book overall.

There is not much material out there on the subject of EDI and BizTalk. Considering that, this is a very useful book. It has several useful exercises. It is definitely helpful if you have a working knowledge of BizTalk Server to get the most benefit from this book. [...]

Great EDI/BizTalk 2006 R2 Reference

While EDI is straight forward in concept to understand it can be difficult to implement. This book is targeted towards the developer and architect tasked with crafting a B2B EDI solution and does a great job at detailing what needs to happen to make this task possible on the BizTalk 2006 R2 platform. This book does not focus on the business specifics around EDI, but rather immediately jumps into detailed and concrete examples that can easily be extended into the real world. There are many EDI features with BizTalk 2006 R2 that can only be understood after working with the product across many projects. This book will reduce the time required experimenting with the tool just to understand the new features. I recommend this book to anyone working with EDI and BizTalk 2006 R2.
