Yes, it's good book. It saves a lot of time. What you get is
not just the book, but the whole book on a disk so that you can
easily take the chapters you want, replace the company name, and
there you have your policy document. What percentage is useful
depends on what document you want to make. An overview policy
is naybe a few pages, while a detailed policy for a sysadm on
how to run a site is more detailed. You will find statements
that slides into any kind of policy (any level), plus a guide
on how to select the appropriate parts for what you are targeting.
Good value for money I would say ($495 is the cost of 5 hours of
your time, so calculate yourself).
