Book Reviews of WordPress Complete: set up, customize, and market your blog
Book Review: Over-priced
Summary: 3 Stars
For $35, I expected something with far more detail and information. I'm a beginner to Wordpress, but I program in other languages. The book gave a bit of an overview, but in the end, I got what I really needed on the help pages.
