Reviews for the first edition of Arduino Workshop:
When it comes to technology, there's really something to be said for learning by example, and with each key point focused around a specific project, the information in this book is easy to learn and retain.

Arduino Workshop was the first book I've read that helped me really make sense of the practical applications the Arduino is capable of.

A very thorough primer for those wishing to jump on the [Arduino] bandwagon.

I've checked out several Arduino primers, and found the best one for my purposes to be Arduino Workshop: A Hands-On Introduction with 65 Projects by John Boxall.

A good book for getting started . . . I highly recommend it if you're thinking about getting into Arduino projects and you're brand new to this stuff.
