I bought it as one of my course books. The language itself has some pretty cool things that makes distributed programming easy. The book, however, is quite poorly written. If I had to buy an erlang book again (and its not a mandatory course book), I wouldnt buy it again. Look online for better help

โฆ Synopsis
Erlang is a concurrent, functional programming language designed for programming large industrial real time systems. The language is untyped and has a pattern matching syntax. Functions are written as a set of recursion equations and the language has explicit concurrency and asynchronous message passing. Written in a tutorial style, the emphasis is on learning through example and a number of well known problems in designing and programming concurrent fault-tolerant real-time systems are illstrated.New chapters on Distributed Programming, Distributed Programming Techniques and Distributed Data.
