Principles of Service Design is an in depth exploration of seven guiding principles to Service Oriented Architecture. This is a great first book to read to gain an understanding of SOA without getting bogged down in the technical details of implementation.
My only quibble with this text is the seventh principle, Service Composability, is indistinguishable from two other principles (Service Reusability and Service Abstraction). The author seems to believe there was a difference but I was at a loss as to what it might have been.
The one chapter of the book I found particularly useful was Chapter 14: Service-Orientation and Object-Orientation: A Comparison of Principles and Concepts as it drove home a lot of the similarities and differences I was picking up as I read through this tome.
The last two chapters, Chapter 15: Supporting Practices and Chapter 16: Mapping Service-Orientation Principles to Strategic Goals were the least useful, simply because the subject matter could be expanded to books in and of themselves (and the companion book SOA Governance by Thomas Erl more than likely covers this subject in excruciating detail).
This book was worth the read to introduce the theory and principles behind SOA. I highly recommend it for anyone wishing to know more about SOA.

This is an excellent introduction to SOA practices, mixing theory and practice in a readable format. The online adjunct is also nice. I look forward to several of the upcoming books in the series. I have been recommending this to many of the folks working with us on SOA projects.
