Customer reviews
Professional WordPress is a very well-organized and written book that will help most WordPress website owners. I found 29 reviews as of the writing of this review that give this book a 4.3 out of 5 stars. The reviews are mostly positive. However, one reviewer pointed out that “the book is almost unusable as a reference, because the index.” I am not sure if this book was designed to be a reference manual.
Another reviewer said “I like this book a lot, because it provides a good introduction to most of WordPress, while keeping a good balance between basic and advanced.” It is a well-balanced book that just about anyone can benefit from.
In summary, if you are looking for a book to help you take your website from average to shining then this book will provide the tools you need. It is well worth the investment
