The one to beat July 2, 2008
This book avoids most of the pitfalls of Ed Haletky's work. It has been properly proof-read, edited and is not as dry.
McCain comes across an accomplished technical author and makes good use of visuals to explain the concepts he's introducing, an area where I felt the Haletky text was lacking. McCain also has a knack of making obscure concepts accessible using straightforward and readily understood examples.
The explanation of virtual networking is particularly good and the author clears up some of the fog surrounding ESX and the iSCSI protocol, especially the need for service console and VMkernel ports. Having implemented iSCSI solutions based on the official VMware documentation, I still found this text to be useful.
If I had one minor gripe it would be that I hoped to get more out of the DRS and resource pool material and the performance monitoring section.
This text covers ESX 3.5 and touches on ESX 3.5i (the latter briefly; understandable in the light of the lack of current vendor implementations).
This books sets the standard and the forthcoming VI3 Advanced Technical Design Guide now has a mark to beat.
