I too own the Snort 2.0 book, and I would ask Brian Caswell if there are
plans for a 2.2 or a 2.3 book?
There are differences between 2.0 and 2.1, but not enough to get the 2.1
book. However, I could be enticed to get the 2.3 with all of the updated
rule options
When I had a question about newer options in Snort 2.1 I was told to:
RTFM at http://www.snort.org
I was delighted to see that the snort manual had the latest rule options.
The information at http://www.snort.org is enough to get a sensor up and
running in no time
(and of course if you can not follow Patrick Harpers guides, then you should
consider a new career in basket weaving).

did you read this book? I just did this and it is by far the uggliest
book I have seen either by O'Reilly or covering snort.
If you read the documentation which comes with snort you will get
better informations than this book will give you.
If you are looking for a good book then take
Snort 2.1 Intrusion Detection, Second Edition ISBN 1-931836-04-3
by Brian Caswell and Jay Beale
(Ok, I didn't read this book but the first edition covering snort-2.0
and this book was quite useful. So I expect the second edition will be
too.)
Best regards
Dirk
PS: There are more books on snort available but I read this two books.
So I can't say anything to the other ones. They might be good or not but
the O'Reilly book is definitively not useful.
