I wish someone would release a good book on Metasploit. Every book and tutorial I've found has been either helpful but too short, out of date, or used an example which you couldn't follow along with (either because they used a feature in the paid for product or because they attacked a vulnerability in an old version of an application that you can't get anymore instead of using a vulnerability already in metasploitable n). In fact, if you want me to buy anything Metasploit related you should probably start by writing that book. Please, write that book, lol. I have no idea how to use your product.

No Starch Press prints a solid and deep Metasploit guide: https://nostarch.com/metasploit

As with lots of technology books, it's a little out of date but you can certainly get a handle on how to use Metasploit with it.

Amazon has a few books available, the most popular called "Metasploit: The Penetration Tester's Guide"[0] but is a little outdated (2011) and "Advanced Penetration Testing: Hacking the World's Most Secure Networks"[1] which mentions metasploit for its teachings and its more recent (2017)

Pretty sure that a 2011 metasploit book will be almost completely useless.

Seconded. I'm in a similar situation where I'm keen to try but can't get "into" it.

Looking now, there's an introduction to metasploit course on pluralsight. I've never tried it, but I may well try that and I'll report back on that.

why not search stackexchange for some examples
