Disclaimer: I was a reviewer for the original Satterlee-Hutnik book.
I find the special strength of their work is tying configuration
effects to things you will see on show and especially debug commands,
and even with a protocol analyzer. The latter makes them particularly
useful to people who already have that sort of troubleshooting
experience.

As Tom suggests, they are very detailed, and tend to focus on the
more hands-on than the conceptual. As such, they complement "problem
recognition" strategies like Caslow's.
