Review
Jeffrey Way makes Tumblr Theme Development laughably easy with this book. I dare to say that this book is the WordPress codex of Tumblr, is an in-depth Tumblr Documentation. Whether you’re an advanced Tumblr theme developer or just a beginner you’ll find this book incredibly useful.

Theme Tumblr Like a Pro is really a must have for anyone looking to jump right into the Tumblr platform. Having taught myself the Tumblr platform before reading this book, I can honestly say Jeffrey did a fantastic job of covering the varied facets of Tumblr Theme development. It is detailed, well written, and extremely easy to follow! If you plan to build for Tumblr, you need this book.
