I agree, this is an EXCELLENT, but outdated book.

For Oracle Replication , i recommend "Distributed Systems" By Charles
Dye.
Covers Ver 7.x thru 8.x but if you are looking for concepts , why and 
how the
dbms packages are run , interlinked it is the book. I have not read the
book
by  Freeman (Rampant) but i am willing to put my two cents on this book.
