i found this a surprisingly easy to read text - it didn't feel heavy and does a good job being a solid reference (if not bible) for any CMMI practitioner. [admittedly CMMI does feel like a past life - this is my $0.02 - take it or leave it!]

OUCH it's painful, but important.

Ok so this is a Bible type reference book for one to learn the components of CMMI v1.2. CMMI being the foundation upon which software process improvement techniques like IDEAL and software process appraisal technniques are based. This while being on a dull topic (unless you're into this sort of thang) is a very easy book to read, but it is laid out in an encyclopedia format so hae fun with that!

This book became a lot more meaningful once I took CMMI class
