Matt...glad you found it helpful. I haven't purchased the Recipes book yet, but I might after seeing your feedback.
I've purchased the AngularJS Oreilly book (good, not great...it just didn't feel like a well-organized book to me) and the Packt book (Web Application Development with AngularJS)..the Packt book is excellent. At least for the first 5 chapters I've read. Oh, and I have no "referral" params for any of those books.
I'm personally really excited about getting to work with Angular. It has been a lot of fun so far, and its amazing how much you can do with a small amount of code.
