 * The [New to WordPress](http://codex.wordpress.org/New_To_WordPress_-_Where_to_Start)
   section advises making your own PDF if you’d like to do some offline reading.
   Personally, I want to read up on WordPress, from the basics to the advanced techniques,
   but I don’t want to have to spend the time sorting through and saving pages of
   the codex when I’m sure others before me have done the same thing.
 * I’ve looked far and wide for some sort of PDF guide to wordpress, but haven’t
   found anything. Is there one out there? Will there be one made available soon?
 * I’d imagine a fair amount of people are looking for the same thing as I am: a
   comprehensive, chronological documentation of WordPress. Something you can print
   out and read in bed to guide you through WordPress.
 * Please let me know if this sort of thing exists yet.

 *  Are books on WordPress in consideration? Google WordPress books, good reading
   before sleeping at night 🙂

 * I did check amazon.ca (yup – I’m a canuck) for WordPress books, but all that 
   turned up were a few intro to wordpress blogging books, some dev books, and a
   WordPress/Drupal/phpBB book. I’m looking into using wordpress as a CMS, not simply
   a blog, so none of them really catered to my needs.
 * If there were, say, an O’reilly book on WordPress, I’d be in heaven.
 * The thing is, all the documentation exists in the codex, but I’m looking for 
   a quick-fix, one-stop-shop version of it. An ebook, essentially.

 * I did find a [WordPress Primer and Quick Start Guide](http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.optiniche.com%2Fblog%2Fdownloads%2FWP-Primer.pdf&ei=TnAGSY_-A6CiMpip5fwG&usg=AFQjCNFuBAmkZl1kjWrBM6i2pQuZkKT6_A&sig2=KqS-Qy82V3pPxBYSpxyA6w),
   but sadly, it’s about 92 pages too short.

 * New books about ways to use WordPress are being published all the time, including
   a recent one on using WordPress for Business Blogs that I think is more aimed
   at CMS uses. We’ve been thinking about doing something in a handbook format, 
   but it really sounds like you might be looking for something more specific and
   in-depth than a general reference would be?
