The publisher's website for this book is
http://www.aw-bc.com/catalog/academic/product/0,1144,0321278658,00.html

and I see from that site that there is a second edition out which looks like it 
might be worth a read even if you have read the first. From a review at 
Bookpool:
This edition is a completely new version of the book. For example, there are 
new chapters on Taylorism, lean manufacturing, and the theory of constraints. 
There are many new ideas and XP is now explained more in terms of its values 
and principles than through strict adherence to twelve specific practices.

By the way bookpool.com is my favorite place to buy technical books, their 
prices are often lower than Amazon.com and shipping is reasonable and fast.
