    I am not sure whether you will find it free to download. All those links are to normal paper books, not e-books.

    Richard,
    No need to buy a book ...
    1 - Read online tutorial
    2 - Practice Joomla in real
    3 - Answer your questions and issues with Internet / Google / This forum !!!

    Practicing is the key

    Unfortunately, tutorials don't have full information about joomla. But I fully agree with you that practise is the most important to master the joomla.

    Dear Richard,
    This is right, Tutorials are not so accurate. But that's a first step to understand how Joomla works : interaction between modules, plugins, menu, templates, articles, etc.
    As soon as you have some knowledge to understand the background (books aren't better than online tutorials), you can practice and practice ... And discover really how it works.
    Thus you'll encounter issues and improve your understanding !

    Joomla as other CMS has its own logic.
    Publishing a website in the real world is the best you can do to really go deeper and learn a lot about Joomla.

    I totally agree with that practice is the best way to master joomla very well. I will build my website in joomla soon after I sort the template out.

    Here you go: "Joomla! Explained — Your Step-by-Step Guide" by Steve Burge. But ultimately always there is options for learning joomla using video tutorials from Lynda. It's paid. PM me if someone is looking for Lynda Joomla Video tutorials at a cheap price.

    I have bought good book Steven Burge "Joomla!Explained:Step-by-Step Guide" and I have read half of it already. This book is very good for beginners and I strongly recommend it although it is about joomla 1.5 version but basics remain always the same.

    I have started to read that book and it is perfect for developers. It explains how joomla works inside, folder and file structure, overrides idea in details, how to customize joomla.
