Whether you're new to Google Analytics or have been under-using it for years, this book will teach you loads about a tool that's actually pretty amazing, given that it's free. There won't be many people who won't learn something from the book. I didn't have the first two editions of the book but this third is fully up-to-date (for now) and very user friendly. It's well-produced by the same publishers who do Avinash Kaushik's legendary books on web analytics and it's similarly indispensable. It doesn't just explain the many, many features that GA has but gives you methodology for implementing the potential of the tool. So, whether you're looking for the basics, for more advanced segmentation and essential features like campaign tracking or the latest stuff such as multichannel funnel analysis, it's all there and in easily digestible form. There's a colour section to supplement the many black and white illustrations, which is helpful.

The history of Web Analytics is very recent! We saw the arrival of the World Wide Web in 1990. Silently an industry grew in the shadows, an industry designed to monitor the performance of these web sites. This started in a basic way, using simple web page counters in 1990, then moved to logfile analysis in 1995. That industry grew and has become known as Web Analytics and Google Analytics revitalised the whole thing. In teaching Digital Marketing and specialising in Marketing Research I am always at a loss for up to date teaching materials. Textbooks are outdated as quickly as they are published. Web metrics is a moving feast and the task is made harder in this specialist area.
However it must be said that Google Analytics has transformed the sector. That being the case then a GA text is essential and this fits the bill perfectly. The quality seal is the publisher who has the confidence to publish an updated version. So yes, onto the RECOMMENDED READING list for Universities and professional qualifications.
