So in the time you posted this, I did a quick search and found the PDF already posted on Rapidshare. That's gotta suck, but we all know how that goes.

Is it a decent book, or just another Wordpress for Newbies type read?

It looks good, ya the pdf is easy to find, I paid for it though, I will be giving away both print and pdf. its not like you can download the print ;)

I usally dont buy tech books since I can get most of the info online, but this looks very good.

:thumbsup

hey fris, not to hijack but ... you ever come across a theme ot theme plugin combo that would give you a print newspaper layout? when you go to page 2 it's page two of the newspaper? saves editions etc....?

I am waiting on a few new Smartphone/Android dev books...I actually like the physical product as opposed to the PDFs.

My problem with WP books is that they all seem to be geared towards those without any webmaster background or technical ability...or like you said, the info is already freely available in many places online.

I hands down favor physical books over pdfs or anything online when it comes to something I am reading to learn, and want to refer back to.

I have never used wordpress in my life, but i would be very interested in learning how to use it. One of my new years resolutions was to absorb myself in more learning so i would appreciate the book :)
