As an EPM consultant, a good thorough reference book is absolutely essential for me. I have carried my copy of Project 2002 Inside Out all over the country with me and have just about worn it out. I ordered a copy of Project 2003 Inside Out the day it became available, and have recommended it to several clients, all of whom have bought it and thanked me for it. The Inside Out books are wonderful, complete references on Project Professional, but they don't go into anywhere near the same level of detail on Project Server or Project Web Access. Granted, if they did, both the 2002 and 2003 versions would have been 10,000 pages long, rather than the current 1,000 or so. This book will help you answer pretty much any quesiton you've got about Project Pro, and that tends to be where most of the questions are. As a reference, this is a great tool. The index is thorough, the detailed TOC is very easy to use, and there is a TON on information in here. To be fair, I have to say that the 2003 version does cover more of Project Server and PWA than 2002 did. However, it's still just barely scratching the surface. If Ms. Stover would cover only the security model, that would be a huge step forward. Bottom line: If you're going to be using Project 2003, either stand alone or in a full-blown Enterprise Project Management scenario, Project 2003 Inside Out is a great tool. I recommend it enthusiasticly.
