Do you mean is the book useful for Virtuemart 2 template design?

No - completely different - in fact much simpler than before - done as template over rides so that it is very similar to over riding any Joomla component template -- bin the book

Probably nobody would want such books now. So valueless. Recycle.

GJC Web Design, jenkinhill, other members,

Are alternatives available in order to become familiar with Virtuemart 2.6?

plenty of info here:  http://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/wiki

if your familar with VM1.1 (if you read the books) you should pick up on the new version quick enough - VM2.0 is much more like standard Joomla component coding.

GJC Web Design,

I know how to proceed now. First I have to read the books.

Thank you for your answer.
