Can anyone recommend a good entry level scrum book?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Why do you need a book? I would think there is plenty out in la-la land.

Google is your friend. Don't bother with a book. There's too many resources on the web you can download.

This is a classic, and I think it shows the influence of ancient Asian philosophy on scrum in ways that other books often neglect to mention: [^].

My favorite Scrum book, which I honestly read twice which is written by one of the creators of Agile Scrum is:
Scrum: The Art of Doing Twice The Work In Half The Time[^]
It tells the story of Scrum and will convince you and help you convince others that scrum is a great idea if you follow the heart of the scrum story.
There are details about how to run scrum too. It's a really readable book. Check it out.

So, only receiving one quarter the pay? 
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I always negotiate a completion bonus for completing early. It's always more money for less time.

Shouldn't that be "The Art of Doing Half the Work in Twice the Time" ?
Scrum/Agile/Whatever is like any other flavour-of-the-month ... any team that does it well would have done it well anyway, whatever the methodology.
My personal favourite has always been JFDI ... or is that Agile[^]?

Talk about a light-saber! Wow!

You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun

If we don't whip him into shape, his postings will get weaker. And who really wants sad-dull jokes?
