Although I wouldn't recommend this book about chromebooks/chromeboxes as the primary title for someone new to the Chrome OS, there are some aspects that are covered in a new way. The author also approaches some aspects from a different perspective that may be helpful. Recommended as a supplement to other Chrome OS books.
