Scott, apologies I should have listed your book in that review (after all it’s on my bookshelf).

It’s fair to say that much of the book is not relevant to the latest releases of Documentum as it is aimed at development with Desktop Client, however it is certainly packed with the sort of gems that are only picked up from years of experience. For example the section on Recursive Processing Of Collections would be relevant to a current discussion thread on exactly this topic in the EMC Support Forums.

There has been a Documentum how-to book around for three years. http://www.amazon.com/Beginners-Developing-Documentum%C2%AE-Desktop-Applications/dp/0595339689/ref=pd_bbs_sr_3/105-2730067-1310804?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1190988156&sr=8-3

The review points out an error in the Architecture chapter. However, the information in the book is consistent with EMC Documentum documentation.
