Hi,
I have some books on Puppet, none of which impresses me.
What are the Puppet books you have and why do you think they are good.
Don't you think they are out-of-date?

The new Pro Puppet is likely to be great, I haven't read it yet. It's updated for 3.x.

I haven't read the new edition, but the
last was good.
As much as I hate to say this (for all of the people who write Puppet books) I've found that things are changing fast enough that I usually recommend one or two books for a beginner to get the ropes, and then after that, rely on the online documentation, the community (here and #puppet), and the many modules on the Forge and GitHub to answer more advanced questions and keep up with what people are doing.

Me too. That was exactly the target focus for the Packt Starter book: http://www.netconsonance.com/instant-puppet-3-starter-book/

Get the terminology straight. Understand the SSL certificate hierarchy. Get working, then go online.
Or: how to avoid confusion and flailing as your intro to the mailing list :)
