As a researcher working on microbial evolution I found this book quite useful as a summary of what is currently known about phylogeny of the various groups of microbes (as well as satisfying idle curiosity about the relations of various macrobes that the bulk of the book deals with). My only criticism is that in some cases the authors of the individual chapters chose unfortunately not to address the declared topic of their assigned chapter but rather to use the space to discuss something else. In particular, one learns little about the phylogeny of Bacteria and Archaea in Ford Doolittle's chapter of that name; instead Doolittle mostly discusses his theories on lateral gene transfer which, while certainly interesting if one hasn't read about them elsewhere, are not very helpful in a reference book on phylogeny. A similar argument could be made with Herve Philippe's chapter on early eukaryotic evolution, which mostly discusses problems of long branch attraction. However, other chapters in the book such as those of Baldauf, et al. and Norm Pace do cover microbial phylogeny in a more useful manner, so all is not lost by such digressions.
