Format:Paperback
This book is now seriously out of date. If you're thinking of buying it, well DON'T. I bought this book recently and I'm finding the references to menus almost irrelevant. WordPress has obviously changed since this book was published. I am finding the answers to most of my questions from the WordPress support.

Format:Paperback
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the ground up, but if (as the book assumes) you're new to Wordpress, you're not likely to know that the book is now out of date.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.
Format:Paperback
Good book. Worth reading. I did want some really basic stuff however, that it did not have. I suppose doing and learning on the job is the way forward. Recommend it.
