Very good way to learn jQuery
I you are serious about learning jQuery, this book is the right one for the job. Despite the fact that it relies on jQuery 1.3 (make sure you get the newest version of this book); it teaches all the basics, best practices and concepts ... I'm very satisfied.

Great starter guide for the newby to jQuery
This is my first of 2 jQuery books. I read it cover-to-cover and use jQuery it for a large scale enterprise-wide web-app on VPN. It is easy to read, understand and has good examples. I can recommend it for the beginner. If you are an intermediate jQuery developer with some jQuery experience and need a book that had a lot of thouht put into its index for quick and practical reference guide, this is not the book for you, I can highly recommend jQuery in Action by Bear Bibeault, Yehuda Katz, they put a lot of thought into the indexing of the page and I wish I got this book first, it may have been my only purchase on jQuery.

Learning jQuery
A simple and surprisingly lucid and concise guide to learning jQuery. Assumes a fairly good knowledge of CSS (e.g. deals with positioning and box model) and XHTML. The ongoing examples used to introduce new concepts are surprisingly agreeable and interesting.

Great book
This book is great for people that know css well, it makes javascript programming, so much better. If you understand how css works, attaching events, actions, animations is simple. What used to take 30 lines of Dom scripting to do can be done in 2. this book shows you how.
