I think this is a book you would use as a reference for getting deeper into the understanding of concepts and being aware of the options for configuration and implemention of various aspects of the framework. But you would need to already understand the basics of Spring.
If you want a Spring tutorial that will help you start building Spring applications from basic concepts, especially if you are a beginner, you may struggle with this book. You get explanation of concepts and code snippets, but you may need to read other books and online articles that are written more in a tutorial style.

I lent it to a guy on my development team, and now I can't seem to get it back. He must like it. (!)
One thing I really appreciated was the comparative tables showing benefits and tradeoffs of using the different web frameworks with Spring. The book does seem a bit shallow for the number of topics presented -- should have been a couple thousand pages to cover everything I'd like to know.

Very incomplete information and examples, the missing pieces being crucial. Overall, poorly and inaccurately written. The authors jump into details before giving the reader the context into which the details should fit. The examples are three-line snippets that fail miserable in showing how to put all the pieces together. Lots of features covered in very short sections that never explain how to use the framework to build a system from beginning to end. Only confused me and wasted my time. I'm at the point of giving up on Spring.

This book is TERRIBLE! Almost as bad as the Spring manual itself which doesn't surprise me because it was written by the same people.
Some examples give good detail but they are VERY hard to follow. For most things that I want to do, there is little or no examples.
For example, there is no mention of Acegi taglibs.
If you want a better book, try the Manning "Spring In Action" book. I have that one too and it is much, much better.
