Hi, O'reilly is the publisher of the Using Drupal book. Also see http://www.bookshare.org/browse/book/41479?returnPath=L3NlYXJjaD9rZXl3b3JkPWRydXBhbCY%3D if you are a Bookshare member. I read that book, and it's pretty good. Keep in mind as you read it that it was written when Drupal 6 first came out, so some of what it says is just a little dated. That said, though, it teaches the Drupal concepts well. Also, the handbooks at http://www.drupal.org are getting much better over time. When you go there, I recommend that you sign up for an account, then activate the documentation link. Furthermore, I feel that as you read through the documentation that you avoid taking the many detours that it is possible to take, at least the first time through. With Drupal, it's a very good idea to get a feel for how the overall system works before you dive in and start working with it. I learned that from hard experience. Thanks.
