Format:Paperback
I have quite a bit of XSLT experience and was looking for something that would enable me to learn XQuery, understand why it was required and gain some insight into the underlying implementations. In all three areas this book succeeded magnificently. The first and third chapters alone made the purchase worthwhile.
For anyone with previous XML experience this is the XQuery book to buy.

Reader's experience: Business Analyst, with several years' XML using XSLT and XML Schema Definition.
Review:
The book managed to demystify a lot of the terms used in W3C documentation, but could have been better in:
1. more comprehensively explaining XML syntax for XQuery (eg. XQueryX)
2. not spending as much time justifying the existence of XQuery

This is a guide to the language of XQuery. It explains the decisions of the XQuery designers, shows the formal type systems in friendly terms, and gives a very deep understanding of the language.
This is absolutely not a "how-to" guide. Instead this is what you need to read to fully understand the language and how it works.
