Building Forums with Vbulletin book

Has anybody read or seen this book?

I am interested in seeing what you thought of it or if it is any good.

The book covers:
Install and configure vBulletin Takes like 3 minutes to do this. Its step by step... how long can the chapter on this possibly be?
Learn the your way around vBulletin with a thorough guided tour Or just poke around yourself and save 20 bucks. It isn't that difficult
Customise your forum to meet the unique requirements of your community This cant get to indepth
Administer users and posts, appoint staff to moderate your forum – or moderate it yourself Easily find out how to do this via their docs
See how to upgrade your vBulletin installation, or upgrade other forum systems to vBulletin Docs cover this
Create a beautiful forum by designing templates or adjusting existing ones Style Manager is one of the easiest of all forums to use.
Install hacks to change vBulletin's behaviour or add new features – you will even see how to create your own hacks Be interested if it covers 3.0.x or 3.5.x

I wouldn't think it would be worth it to someone that is a member of this forum. You can find 90% of that info here I bet.

Yea might be a good read if you can get it for free, but you can easily find some free e-books on all of this. Though I suppose if you really are completely new to the forum scene I guess this would be a good book to get.

Thanks, I am downloading it now

Edit:It's in a compressed .rar file, just so everyone knows, and to view it you will also need Adobe reader/acrobat

Who needs books when there is AdminFusion

I wouldn't expect much out of that book either...I'm sure it's aimed at vB rookies...who can most likely get the information they need from the docs or forums like this...or they can just download that book for free, lol...hmmmmm is that eBook legal

Nikolas is on a distinguished road
 
 
I think Lee is about to publish a book about forums (please correct me if I am wrong)

If this is true, well I would love to read this. Otherwise there is nothing technical that you can't learn your self using forums like this....
