Excellent read. One of the best intro books to blockchain.
I've read a few intro books on blockchain. This book actaully answered a lot of questions I had which I didn't get from the other books.

Yay, info on blockchain that anyone can understand!
I'm not a coder nor a financial guru, so wanted a high-level explanation of blockchain understandable by a layperson. I especially wanted to know about non-cryptocurrency uses for blockchain. Other Kindle books I tried were unclear and/or had such pervasive grammar errors and typos that it was maddening. This book was perfect; all the info I needed presented clearly and concisely, suggestions for further reading, and a handy glossary of tech terms. If you're tired of not knowing what the blockchain buzz is all about but don't want a graduate-level lesson either, read this.

Nothing but a collection of blogs
A book with very basic info that didn’t need purchasing- there are better written blogs on medium and LinkedIN one could peruse to learn what is in this book.
Author is selective in explaining concepts: take “Nonce” for example - he assumes the reader would know Nonce.

A fast primer on blockchain
This book gives a concise lesson on block chain, to help with a basic understanding of the subject. The author himself recommends reading further into the subject.

Good introduction to block chain
Very easy read but very informative to a novice blockchainer student. There is additional resource referenced at the end of the reading for additional research material.

Very good introduction to block chain.
The most valuable section is the section on additional resources. Quick read, and still very informative. I also l
ike the glossary.

Excellent summary

Quck Read, Easy Read - You’ll find out if you care with this book
If you want to know the basics of Blockchain and crypto currency this is a great starting point.
If you already know and want a quick way to get you friends, family or coworkers up to speed - this is what you should recommend to them.
The glossary should be the first pages of the book though.
