It is a bit heavy on the politics at times, but there are lots of intersting examples from real world open source projects, and on the whole it it should be a good read as an introduction to open source, and a reassurance that open source is a viable alternative to proprietary software. I think it might help dispel some of the "mystery" that the "non-initiated" may see in open source - e.g. how and why it works.
