Good book with bad tech support
The book is fine; the tech support on the book's XSLT editor is awful. The tool was compiled against an ancient (2002) Java VM, and doesn't work on any current PC. The tech support staff have ignored the problem for three weeks, so I'll find another editor

Great
Really good intro book - You should read this book and then pick up another more detailed title to really get `under the hood` of XSLT.

Dumb book full of dumb analogies
Actually, this book would be pretty good if you could wade through all the stupid analogies that are supposed to make the subject accessible. Each chapter begins with a bunch of really stupid examples that are simply distracting. Writing a match statement is like collecting groceries in a grocery store -- fetching the milk and cookies for your mom, etc., etc. The book is so full of this dreadful stuff that it becomes completely unreadable.

Quick and enjoyable introduction to XSLT
I usually find myself slogging through programming books, trying to keep my eyes open, but XSLT for Dummies was one of the more enjoyable programming books I've read in a while.

The material is presented concisely with humor injected to keep the tone light. Great intro for the price!
