Definitive list of WordPress books [closed]

by

I’ve been thinking about what other large community wiki post site can benefit from. Questions about books come up all the time and I think it will be beneficial to have one large list to consolidate available literature on WordPress.

Please include:

  • title
  • author(s) (preferably with links and cred)
  • topic(s) covered
  • user level targeted
  • form (paper/ebook)
  • pricing (if applicable)
  • link to home site (if available)

Please one book per answer so it is easier to edit, discuss and vote on.

Please keep it civil with affiliate links. I don’t particularly mind those, but we all want to see books that are genuinely useful, not those with large commission.
