Every review that I have read suggests that you're better off just
reading the DBI documentation than shelling out the $30 for the DBI
book. The guys that wrote it are, of course, the people that are the
most qualified to write such a book, being the two lead developers on
the DBI project since day 0, but it's just not any better than the free
documentation, which is exceptional.
