This isn't a super detailed book. It talks about modules that are SEO focused and some of the management functions you have. It also touches, a bit, on some SEO best practices. But, you shouldn't pick up this book if you are hoping for some schooling on SEO. You need to walk into this book with a fairly sophisticated set of knowledge around the topic and hope to get the application directions from this book to implement with Drupal.

Just get your hands on the SEO checklist. Only read this if you a complete novice.
