Excellent

I'm the author, Lynn Beighley, on Twitter as @lynnbeighley. (Somehow my correct last name went missing for a week or so, but it's back now.) I'm not reviewing the book here, so much as contributing some insight on the intended audience.

The Publisher's comments I found on Powell's site (http://www.powells.com/biblio/9780470556115) do an excellent job of summing my book up:

Book:

There is a site slowly being built up at http://drupalfordummies.com/

Aaron Winborn reviewed the book Cracking Drupal.

One choice paragraph:

I know that's a cliche, but when I first learned about Greg Knaddison's book (greggles in Drupal-land), I'd assumed it would be aimed primarily at Drupal contributed module developers. By the time I finished the excellent book about Drupal security, I realized it was an essential read for anyone connected with developing, theming, or maintaining a Drupal site.
