PA devices are complicated compared to e.g. Zyxel security appliances.This book has good coverage of several PA configuration areas.Setting up network interfaces is covered briefly in this book. I struggled to configure network on a PA device because of my insufficient knowledge of networks.All in all, this is a useful book.
