Just finished. I think it is very good book, but for newbies. It gets reader familiar not only with couchdb and using it with php, but gives basic understanding on project development lifecycle using such tools as js and css frameworks, git, github service, php cloud hostign and couchdb cloud hosting.
But for expirienced developers it is quite simple and time loosing.
