A good but *very* high-level overview of the major capabilities of CouchDB. This book makes for a good introduction and can be read in a single sitting. That is, if it can be called a "book"--it's more like an overview white paper.

Good book, but it was somewhat shorter than I had hoped (69 pages). So it didn't cover all the subjects I was interested in in much detail. It explains the basics and that's it.
