Book Review: A Great Wordpress Tool!
Summary: 4 Stars
This book was very helpful in figuring out how Wordpress works and what you can do with it. I was very happy to find useful examples and explanations of the inner workings of the software. I especially recommend the section on using Wordpress as a content management system.
I recommend this book as a way to get started and a place to go when you get confused over blog specific lingo and the like.

Summary: 4 Stars
I bought WordPress for Dummies a few weeks ago. I have been very impressed so far (I'm more than halfway through the book). Lisa explains why you need to do certain things and points out situations where you need to be careful before changing parameters. The book is broken down into easily digestible chapters and is easy to read and comprehend. If you are new to Wordpress and need help, I'd highly recommend this book.Book Review: Start WordPressing Here
