Recently I was sent the book Pinterest for Dummies and I have to tell you this book is amazing. It takes you through every step for the person, like me, who doesn't know a thing about Pinterest. Kelby Carr’s Pinterest for Dummies is a guide book for the beginner Pinterest User.
I learned so very much from this book and am still learning. It has twelve chapters and each one has diagrams and tutorials all through the book to help you along the way.

There is the Introduction where it shows you the icons used in the book, how the book is organized etc.

Chapter 3-- Pinning and Repinning
Chapter 4-- Socializing on Pinterest
Chapter 5-- Using community Features

Anyone who has been wanting to get started on Pinterest or who is already there and still is trying to sort things out, this book is for you. There is nothing that has been missed in this book. Everything is explained in very good detail and the pictures and diagrams are excellent.
