I purchased this book since I had to implement a new verification environment from scratch. I read the entire book, and I was off building a verification environment with SV.

There are few details which are not discussed in the book, for instance how to import classes into other classes(from a package), and how you should compile the entire project (again from a package).

Overall, if you don't know SV, and OOP, this is an excellent book to start with.

a few non-compliant code examples that do not follow the IEEE LRM. With that said, overall the book contains a number of good examples and covers the SV language. It doesn't spend much time discussing methodology (which can be good or bad depending on what you're looking for).

In summary, decent reading and a good language reference. Definitely a lot better than the VMM book.
