Above average in its category
This is a useful book. In one project that I worked on I was a consumer of a web service and had to learn very quickly how to process a SOAP message. The chapter dealing with the SAAJ api was quite useful in this respect.
I've skimmed through other chapters on a 'need to' basis and found them instructive also. If there's one criticism I'd say it's short on solid complete working examples. Other than that, I'd recommend it to anyone trying to understand the Web Service labyrinth.
Book for Architects
This book is not a book teaching you programming WS step by step. It is ideal for Enterprise and Soultion architecs, who need to familiarize with the technology stack under SOA and WS*. It is an encyclopedy, which covers these standards and technologies in a very intelligible way. It covers the concepts and principles, not coding details.
The best webservice book
