Exactly. The complaints are wildly off-base; it doesn't matter whether it costs more or less than a college chemistry textbook; it matters whether or not it will save you more than $60 worth of time.

I mostly write native apps, but happen to have started to make a website for the first time in several years the other day. Having decided to start with Bootstrap, I spent at least an hour chasing down blog posts about using Bootstrap, and then googling to see how things had changed since v2, how people do X and Y, finding conflicting opinions of unknown provenance, etc etc... and was expecting to have to do more of that to finish getting up to speed with Bootstrap (especially since I'm starting with v3 and most of the info on the inter web tubes pertains to v2).

So of course I bought this book. In order to be a worthwhile investment, all it has to do is save me from the hassle having to do that again, one single time. Perusing the site it really looks like it will. Sold!
