I've flicked through it previously and there are likely to be a few take aways for someone starting out.

No idea on a book but from my experience, especially in that industry, he needs to set clear objectives and meet them. And make sure he's clear with management that he wants to move on in the company.
I made this mistake as an intern and was treated like a child because I didn't tell them what I expected of them

A good point. It makes a big difference if your first manager is competent at developing staff. I had a couple early in my career who just went through the motions at appraisals and development reviews. It's good to put pressure upwards in the system but remaining realistic so you're not seen as an upstart. The other important thing, that I did not realise at first, is making sure you're visible to your bosses' boss. Finally, invest time in internal networking and "big-up" your achievements.I made this mistake as an intern and was treated like a child because I didn't tell them what I expected of them
My 23 year old daughter is just completing her first year at work. Her manager is incompetent and takes credit for all my daughter's achievements and talk's over her in meetings. Fortunately this has not escaped the notice of the directors and important clients. I predict that she will be her manager's boss within two years unless the manager is removed by then.

Not management, business, technical or commercial, but it helped me understand the environment I was working in and was a great help.
