YES!

It's an operational, hands-on guide to JunOS.  Strongly recommend.   
Especially for those who are coming from the "C" vendor.  Published  
in April 2006 so it is relatively current.

Chapter Index:

Router Configuration and File Management
Basic Router Security and Access Control
IPSec
SNMP
Logging
NTP
Router Interfaces
IP Routing
Routing Policy and Firewall Filters
RIP
IS-IS
OSPF
BGP
MPLS
VPNs
IP Multicast

It's a no-nonsense guide too.  Assumes a level of expertise regarding  
protocols and standards.  You don't get chapters and chapters of  
theory and background.  Just lots of practical, hands-on JunOS  
commands and recipes.  Best book I've purchased this year.
