Perry's book is heftier than the typical offering from the Sams Teach Yourself series. He is attempting to cover a lot of ground here. Firstly, by explaining how to use Microsoft Windows XP for various tasks, primarily in a standalone mode. Mundane but important details like how to setup a network in your home, or office, for that matter. And how to react to hardware problems. Notice I don't say "repair". Because nowadays, it's simply not economic for anyone to repair most broken hardware.
But perhaps the main thrust of the book is in the interaction of you and your computer with the rest of the Internet. Email and surfing the Web, naturally. For these, computer security has become a huge problem, as spam, viruses and other malware have proliferated. These tend to target XP because of its predominance. (Linux and Mac users often get a free pass.) So Perry goes into some detail about countermeasures or precautions that you can and should do.
It should be said that you won't need to read all of the book. It's well suited as a reference. Just refer to what you need.
Broadly, the book is certainly optimistic in terms of how you can benefit from XP. Just take certain precautions!
