Absolute fluff...do NOT waste your time
This is a 700 page book of absolute junk. I'm very experienced with AD and had hoped that this book would focus on the specifics of the design aspects and prepare me for the test. Quite simply, it did not. This book simply glosses over general concepts and contains MAYBE 5% hard infromation you'll need to know for the exam. Bleh. I want my money back.If you're looking for a serious study guide, ditch this and go with examcram or heck...go with anything else besides this. In contrast the Exam Cram 2 book was VERY helpful and gave me many details that definately helped on the test.

No good for the exam
This book is more of a guide to consulating than a coursebook. Very little of the contents are applicable to the exam - look at the braindump sites and then compare the information presented in the book with that asked in the exam - there is NO correlation. If you want a VERY high level VERY general guide to design, this is the book for you. If you want any chance of passing the exam, forget this book, look elsewhere. The relevant material (no more than 10% of the total contents), is discussed in SO little detail as to be pretty much, (but not completly) useless. If you have done a course or used other material to revise from, this may add some value, but otherwise it is not going to get you through the exams. First Osborne book I've bought, think it may well be the last.

Don't waste your time
Buy and study a book for the Installing and Administering Active Directory 70-215 exam. (That book of this series isn't bad.) This book provides a superficial overview of business practices and attempts to teach you how to apply them to AD Design. It fails miserably. The book, in my opinion, is a waste of effort. Just study for the 70-215 exam, and maybe try a practice test to get familiar with the question format for the 70-219 exam. If there is anything special you have to do to study for this exam, this book doesn't have it.
