Well I finished reading up to the Case Study. I will wait to read that when I am up to part II.
As far as the reading for Part I. I found it to be very broad and surface level. Which seems like how deep the test goes into. I learned a lot about Security that I hadn't understood before. The parts on the Design
Patterns are enough to give you the basic understanding of each Pattern. It put all the UML of each Pattern, which is important.
Protocols and Internationaization are briefly covered, but I don't really think that there needs to be any more put into it.
In Chapter 2 they had UML. It went over this also at a high level. It expalins all the lines boxes, diagrams, et al. This part reaches the surface, but to get a full grasp of the UML, you need to do some of it yourself. But it is really basic and logical anyway.
The book is aptly titled Study Guide, because that is what it is, a guide. It shows you the basic knowledge you need for the exam, but it also does not attempt to be the one tell all be all book, and should be bought realizing that.
Don't expect to read the book and pass the test right away, some experience or practical knowledge is very important to really be able to take this knowledge and apply to scenarios.
Well that's my 2 cents. I would like to thank Mark Cade and Simon Roberts for writing this book, it will help me tremendously in taking all parts of the exam.

Is this a "when they fix the errors, it'll be a good resource" or "use the free sites online" kind of thing?
