If you bought and grokked the first book and have been using FreeBSD ever since, do you really need a book of any kind at this point? Don't you have enough experience under your belt to get by without a book? The operating system books - be it FreeBSD, Linux or Windows, serve an important function of helping people go from zero to 60 in getting up and going with their operating system of choice. But eventually you are going to outgrow them. There are always lots more people at 0 so the authors of these books will never starve, but you need to eventually strike out on your own.
