I have gone through couple google app engine books and finally purchased this one. If you are like me as a developer and have a little knowledge on app engine. I recommend this book for you. The writer would not walk you a single project but instead give you 40+ specific app engine samples, thus you can easily refer to it later. Also, remember to check out the writer's github. I would not said it is the best book out there but it is enough to start your coding on app engine.
