Practical Perforce Review by Chris
Excellent for explaining concepts as well as reference
This book was better than I expected, because it not only explains how to use Perforce, but it covers handling branches in general using the "Tofu model" of softer to firmer codelines. This makes the book worthwhile even if you're not using a different CMS system, just as a way to think about using code branches to manage product releases, new feature development, and bug fixes all at the same time.
One area that was a bit weak is that the majority of the book is geared towards development of shrinkwrap-style software with discrete release points, and only a final short chapter is dedicated to the continuous release style used by web-based products, seeming like an afterthought.
But overall I would highly recommend this book to anyone using Perforce in software development of any kind.
