Simply the best SEO book! - Rated 
I have been optimising sites for search (with a reasonable degree of success) as part of my occupation as a web developer for nearly four years now. At the time of writing, my site is #1 and #2 (out of more than 8.5 million) in Google for my chosen keyword term. Upon reading this book, I learned how to turn the "basic optimisation" that I do well, into a much more professional optimisation service suitable to be presented to (potential) clients. I own 8 SEO books. If you're starting out, "Search Engine Optimization for Dummies" is a good place to start but I have learned more useful stuff from this book than from the other 7 combined.
Practical handholding through the SEO jungle - Rated
A cracking introduction to Search Engine Optimisation (or Search Engine Marketing as they would prefer to call it!) Runs through the basics at a very easy pace (slightly slow, but at least it ensures that you've covered all the basics). Lots of practical exercises. For me, as a website designer, it confirmed a lot of suspicions I'd always had, and added some new ideas, but most importantly it gave me a focus for structuring my thinking; so even if you've been around in the web world for a bit it's a definite good buy.
Search Engine Optomisation: an hour a day - Rated
I found this a very interesting and focused book. The authors have a very direct and informative style. I enjoyed reading the book and I believe it will be very useful in my SEO campaign. The 'hour a day' really helps to keep the newbie on the right lines when planning a SEO campaign.
Extremely interesting and well worth the money - Rated
Being relatively new to SEO campaigns, I had a basic understanding of what was necessary, but have gleaned lots of extremely interesting information that I was not aware of. Technical truths are presented in such a way as to be easy accessible, and I would happily recommend the book to anyone wishing to promote their site on the Web.
