I own it and its a good book. There simply isn't as much material out on DNN as there is on asp.net itself obviously. At the current moment, I'd say this is the best source of reading in printed format. There is one other book out now that has a black cover. It is good too and would probably give it 4 stars. Of course, I gave this one 5. The book is written by the guys who wrote the code...who else would you want your information from?

Rating: - Good book about DNN
I bought this book and the WROX DNN book. I like this one better. Especially the chapters on programming your own custom modules and deploying your apps. Invaluable.
Rating: - Excellent book
If you are looking to get up to speed to quickly on DotNetNuke this is the book for you. It covers virtually everything you need to know in under 300 pages. The writing is concise and explains the concepts clearly. It covers installation, administration, security, deployment, site creation and all of the basic built in DotNetNuke modules.
If you are interested in delving into customization and architecture it offers excellent chapters on core architecture, skinning and custom modules.
