Need Joomla 1.5 book recommendation for Webmasters

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for a Joomla 1.5 book to recommend to Webmasters. For Webmasters who are primarily concerned with content management and not programming. So the Webmaster has an explanation of how to customize the template. Also how Sections, Categories, Articles and Modules are related and their capabilities. Tips like how to change the title on the home page, for example.

Thanks in advance,

David Roth

I'd like to see that discussion happen too; the docs could use some
work. Very difficult to figure out how to set things up initially,
content wise.

David, it's not a book but I've recently found the Joomla Quickstart
guide very helpful. The video section ROCK! Check out the first
paragraph of this page:

This book is nothing more than back hack of the help files and
expensive. I gleaned a couple of details from it and donated it away..

http://www.joomlabook.com/ this book is far different..
Its cheaper and addresses many issues it maybe a little deep in places
for content managers tho.

Reviews look good, except for folks that wanted a little more
hand-holding. Anyone else read it? I'm fairly strapped for fund at the
moment but could use some good reading material on Joomla.
