I've purchased the German Version "Speichernetze" last year to get a better understanding, the recent purchase of "Storage Networks Explained" is just to read the book in english.
I can recommend Storage Notweorks explained to anyone interested in the basics of Fibre Channel, NAS, SAN, Infiniband, iSCSI and FCoE. I'm a Sales Guy with a some technical knopwledge and I really appreciate this book because it is easy to read and has all the stuff in it I currently need and it comes with a SNIA recomendation too.
