4.0 out of 5 stars unfortunately...., 21 April 2008
By Dennis E. Sisterson (London, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Very comprehensive and user-friendly, covers everything from the ground up, but if (as the book assumes) you're new to Wordpress, you're not likely to know that the book is now out of date. Wordpress 2.5 appeared at the end of March '08, and I'm having a bit of trouble finding my way around it with a book designed for the previous release. Really, it should tell you on the cover which version of Wordpress it applies to.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing , 25 May 2008
If you need to know, how to do your own wordpress template yourself, that is not the book to get. In fact it explains more, how to get an professional designer/programmer and how to deal with them. If you use free templates or you're happy with the results of the template generator, than it might be a good start. Most information you can get direct on the wordpress dot org webpage. So it is a bit a waste of paper actually.
