Courses Plus Student 53,747 PointsI have it, but can't recommend yet since I haven't had an opportunity to read it.
I got the book as a result of hearing about the well-received first edition. I absolutely trust Sitepoint with their fundamental-first approach.
I can trust spending a weekend with any of their books and believe I will be more well-rounded, understand the topic in a straightforward way.
I however warn you they tend to have more errors than most books from other publishers. Either that or they are fast to notify their readers about them more than others.
