Your quote from the book answers your own question. A switch in transparent mode does not partake in the VTP process. Switches in the same VTP domain that are either servers or clients do. So a change made on a server propagates throughout the VTP domain changing the information on the other servers and the clients. The prior responses to your question are correct. What might be confusing is the part that says you can't delete VLANs on a client. Clients don't save the VLAN information. They only learn it from servers. Change the server and you automatically change the clients. HTH
