Dru Lavigne received a preview copy of Peter N.M. Hansteen's The Book of PF and wrote a brief review.
Dru sums up nicely:
All in all, this book is very readable and a must-have resource for anyone who deals with firewall configurations. If you've heard good things about PF and have been thinking of giving it a go, this book is definitely for you. Start at the beginning and before you know it you'll be through the book and quite the PF guru. Even if you're already a PF guru, this is still a good book to keep on the shelf to refer to in thorny situations or to lend to colleagues.

The date I got was December 15th (with the last word from the printers that they'd deliver some time this week), but then there's always the risk of shipping delays etc that happen around these times.

The date I got from Amazon was December 15th as well. I vaguely remember a "will arrive before Christmas" policy but I don't know if that applies to everything ordered in a certain time period, shipped in a certain time period, or what. I'm pretty sure I got 2-day shipping, so if it's not here by Christmas I'll be a little concerned :).
