The most complete book on WPF.

If you are looking for a "think in WPF book" to read cover to cover I advise instead: WPF 4 Unleashed and use Pro WPF in C# 2010 as a reference to go deeper when you need.

A good book. It has some weaknesses though as it augments some of the "code-behind" sections that could become in handy sometimes for real-time object creation\destruction if someone doesn't want to use the MVVM model.
