I enjoyed this book and recommend it to others. It's an easy read even if you are a beginner, but isn't too simple for more advanced users. It provides essential material on how to set up Contribute and customizing it which was a great help. These authors produced a book that offers both practical and readable understanding. The only complaint I can say about the book was the tutorials are not available from Glasshaus, but from what I heard they went out of business so I guess I shouldn't have expected too much out of them.

Note: I just discovered that APress seems to have the glasshaus, as well as many wrox, books and the _Contribute End-User Training Guide_ is now available for download. I will update my review after working through it.

The whole reason I purchased this book over books half the price was for the unlimited free downloads of the glasshaus _Contribute End-User Training Guide_ from their web site. It is not there. I have since discovered that the publisher is officially insolvent. Of course, their web site doesn't mention this fact. It just says to keep checking their site for their _Contribute End-User Training Guide_.

Hey glasshaus! Thanks for keeping your site up to date! Thanks for putting a present tense promise on the back of a book and shipping it without ever bothering to put the guide on your site for download.

If you need to learn to use Contribute and can't just figure it out on your own or from the online documentation, save yourself about $... and get something like the _Visual QuickStart Guide_. Just don't buy this book expecting an end-user training guide.
