I'm about half-way through this book. So far, this is exactly the sort of thing I look for in a technology book. The author explains the subject with obvious enthusiasm (so it doesn't drag), there are lots of examples as well as explanations of "how" and "why".

I think this is currently the only book on Mercurial, but it likely will be the only one you need.

Chapter 14, page 222, under "Cherry-Picking Changes with the transplant Extension" the book reads...

"Need to have a long chat with Brendan about this."

Wow, terrible. How did that get past the editors? Computer books have enough typos as it is, but this is ridiculous!
