This is the perfect book for the correct ALE/ EDI audience
Arvind's book is the perfect reference for someone who has done actual SAP implementations involving EDI, ALE, and associated Workflow, including status management, change management, message control, IDOC creation, reduction, extension, etc. If a person purchases this book in the hopes of learning SAP, ABAP, and ALE in some sort of "welcome to SAP - get rich quick" scenario; then this is not the book for you. Nor is any other book for that matter. Nothing replaces hands on experience; but this book is absolutely the perfect companion to anyone sitting in front of an SAP terminal with any kind of technical or functional responsibilities with regard to ALE and/or EDI. This book will help you to further understand the tools and systems SAP put in place. This is not a coffee table book, but rather a reference for those of you working with this subject matter on daily basis.

Best startingpoint of SAP ALE/IDOC
This 2nd edition is a perfect starting point for learning about SAP EDI and IDOC. I recommended this book to all my SAP friends.
If you want to learn about SAP Integration, this is the book.

I hope the authors will spend some chapters about SAP Business Connector and other standard integration tools in the next version. This will complete this bible about SAP EDI/Idoc.

Good Primer
This is a good starting point for EDI, ALE and Idocs. It gives a good overview of what is required and how to map out a plan. Some of the specifics are a bit too general, but again, this is just meant to be a starting point. From a high level perspective of managers and Project managers, this is a good book to have on hand. It will give you a good idea of what your implementation will require.
