  [Reviewed by XPSD member Andy de Torres]
  As the guys behind the Pragmatic Starter Kit Series admit, these books cover basic stuff all developers should know. So it comes as no surprise that Pragmatic Version Control Using Subversion is not a ground-breaking, earth shattering book. It's a good, thin, easy to read book that covers the basics of version control and how to work with Subversion. It spends fewer than 20 pages on the basics with the rest of the book covering syntax, setup, and best practices... more info

• Fantastic
  This book had everything a non-expert would need to understand the basics of the version control system with Subversion.
  The tone is very readable. And the use of graphics was good but could be better
  Overall, I recommend this book to anyone who is trying to build a strong foundation in source code versioning.
  It really cuts to the chase so the reader can be doing real work in a matter of minutes. I expect to see updates to this book.
  I would like the author to add a chapter or two aimed... more info

• An absolute gem
  This is my favorite technical book. I read it cover to cover, which is unusual for me but this book was just that good -- comprehensive and quite easy to understand.
  It helped me move from CVS to SVN smoothly and with confidence. I also find it to be a great reference to come back to for a refresher here and there.
  This book is for Subversion what Ansel Adams' The Camera is for photography: The perfect first step and, for some, the last step they need.

• Excellent kick start and easy read
  Excellent book to get kick started on SVN. The examples given in the book are very practical and reinforce learning. It would be more valuable if it could include some help for people who are looking to migrate to SVN from clearcase
