DirectAccess has the reputation for being hard to get running. And while I've heard that it's easier with Server 2012, it's still not click-click-click easy (and probably shouldn't be, given this is a VPN solution?). If you're an IT admin and thinking about DA, this looks like a must have book.

And the fact that it comes from hungry team at packt is just icing on the cake... :)
