It provides a good overview with some detail as well, including examples of signal sequences and even references. However, it is most thorough only in covering translocation and the fate of proteins assembled in the cytoplasm.

Unfortunately, the figures seem not to work, at least not on all computers. It goes into a fair degree of detail while stopping short of experimental evidence.
