Mastering Monero is a book all about the Monero cryptocurrency. The special thing about Monero is its focus on privacy.

The book starts out with a basic, but very well written, explanation of cryptocoins in general and Monero in particular.

Next it goes into details on how to get started with Monero.

And the final chapters are about the technical details. Ranging from the cryptographic systems underlying the coins to the API exposed by the Monero software.

As far as complexity is concerned, this book goes from 0 to 10 really really fast.

Overall this was a very good read. Although I wish that the cryptography chapter would have been a bit longer or contain pointers to more details.
