As I was first looking to learn about CDA, I quickly saw that the resources were limited to help me learn. So I picked up a copy of this book and found it quite helpful.
Keith Boone is a well-respected expert in this space... he's an active part of creating and evolving HL7 and related standards, active on many forums and projects related to CDA, runs a very respected blog on healthcare interop topics, etc. So, a book from Keith is about as "authoritative" as it gets - and it's very nice that he was able to take the time to produce this book for the (growing) CDA implementer community.
The book itself is good, but not great. Tends more towards "reference" than "tutorial". Could use a lot more examples (this is true of everything "out there" on CDA and C-CDA today, in my view) and practical guidance.
As other reviewers have noted, there are a lot of typos (and/or grammatical issues) that a good several hour proof-reading session by an editor would have caught. I counted over 50 such issues. Few are substantive, just a minor annoyance as you read (depends how sensitive you are to that stuff - I am more sensitive than most). Keith maintains an "errata" area for the book on his blog, but it's minimal relative to the actual number of issues I found.
I think the main issue in covering CDA in book format is that the world of CDA is continually evolving. Today, the primary implementation guide derived from CDA (and required for Meaningful Use 2014 Edition) is Consolidated CDA (C-CDA) which is not explicitly addressed in this book. CDA R3 is also on the horizon (some references to it in the book).
