The Peoplesoft book to get for Version 8
This book gives you a good breath of exposure into what is needed for most Peoplesoft implementations. Although, no book can give you real world experience and express it into words, this book comes close. It has good examples and covers most of the general pitfalls I have seen in the past. Although, at times the book seems to focus on the older user interface but it doesn't change the general issues and approach.If you are in the process of implementing Peoplesoft, this is a good book to get.

Clear and concise explinations
Covers history, planning, organizational, and roles and responsibilities for implementing a PeopleSoft installation. Also includes patch and environment planning. It's an all around reference. It helped give me a good overview of most aspects of the PeopleSoft 8.

Helpful for implementations, V8 content an afterthougt
A useful guide if you are implementing an ERP for the first time, never seen/used PeopleSoft and don't understand the consultant's methodology.It is not good on Version 8 specifically and is of little to no value for existing implementations.
I found a huge amount of content devoted to the Windows Client when version 8 is about moving from this to the web. It seems this book was originally written about how to implement Version 7.5 and then had revisions when version 8 was released prior to the publish date.
Better title would have been Understanding PeopleSoft, without the "8" bit.
