Query: Lacking in substance

Once I got the defective CD replaced by New Riders (something they were very quick about btw) I was able to get Debian installed with few problems. However, once it was in I found the book fairly useless, as it's coverage of many topics (such as getting XFree86 running) left me reaching for my copy of _Running Linux_. To make matters worse the book was also light on helping explain those aspects of the distribution that were peculiar to Debain. Where's the discussion of apt? I'd easily recommend one of the other Debain books over this one.
