I had on my computer installed SQL Server 2008 Express edition and I was looking for something which will help me to work with it. I have found there is Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Management Studio Express. You can find it on Microsoft download pages.
As a prerequisite you will need to install PowerShell if you already don't have it on your computer. I had trouble to use link to PowerShell 1.0 on the download page so I recommend to use this download link to PowerShell 2.0 on Windows Management Framework page in Windows Management Framework Core section.
When you have installed PowerShell you can start to install Management Studio. I was a bit surprised to see that what I downloaded contains SQL Server installation package. So for the installation of Management Studio 2008 you will need to go Installation > New SQL Server stand-alone installation or add features to an existing installation then pass installation checks and in Feature Selection check Management Tools - Basic.

On the other hand there are lot of examples from author's work experience. I believe everybody will find out similar examples from his own experience which makes the book very readable.
In short the book contains:
