Silverlight Recommended Book

I have just been reading about Silverlight 3 and would like to start getting into Silverlight. Can someone recommend a good silverlight book (version 2 would be fine). I found this but the answers and one ups were quite sparse, perhaps there is a better answer now it has been around longer.

I think I am a learn by doing person, so a tutorial book would probably be best for me.

From stackoverflow

• I'm a fan of the apress books because they're clean, easy to read, contain plentiful examples, and are sometimes humorous.

  I've read and learned a ton from Pro ASP.NET 3.5 in C# 2008 and Pro LINQ in C# 2008 when I was getting started with .NET, so I'm going to recommend the following:

  • Pro Silverlight 2.0 in C# 2008: http://www.apress.com/book/preview/9781590599495
  Przemek : I have read this one and I would like to confirm that it is very good. Actually, in my opinion it is the best one so far for Silverlight 2. And it is all in color!

  PeteT : I got this one in the end, not read it all yet but very good so far.

  Cory Larson : I'm glad you're enjoying it!

  Dimitri C. : I have a C++ background, and I find this book very good for making the transition. It is written for advanced programmers rather than beginners.

• Corey Schuman has a good list with some reviews here:http://www.85turns.com/2009/03/05/the-state-of-silverlight-2-books/

• Of course Manning books have been known for their clarity and simplicity. I recommend: Silverlight 2 in Action by Chad Campbell and John Stockton. It is worth its price.

• Here is a daily updated list of .NET related web development books (including Silverlight):

  Also there is an RSS feed.

• I would highly recommend Laurence Moroney's Introducing Microsoft Silverlight 2.0, 2nd Edition. It's one of the few books that I've read cover to cover. He's also recently published a free Silverligt 3.0 preview of his next book.

• I really recommend Silverlight 2 Unleashed, it's a beautiful full-color book full of examples, it covers all the important topics related to Silverlight.

• There are many books on Silverlight and related .NET technologies at the special Silverlight Books website
