This review is an extract from a complete article (http://otaqui.com/wp/2008/06/dojo-toolkit-book-reviews-dojo-the-definitive-guide-mastering-dojo/) .

I would recommend this book without hesitation. I found it informative, helpful and really on-point while trying to create a fairly heavy application on top of Dojo. Written in the usual Pragmatic Programmer style, it is as easy to read through a chapter as it is to dig into for a specific answer.

Perhaps one omission is the DOH (which the book incorrectly refers to as the Dojo Object Handler) - perhaps correctly citing the fact that it is out of it’s own scope. Given that DOH is dojo agnostic (your project does need to use Dojo to be tested with DOH) I suppose that is fair enough, but I would love to have seen even an introductory chapter on it.

Mastering Dojo is structured in a slightly confusing way - confusing at least if you are used to The Book Of Dojo and it’s well worth searching for terms in the index (unless you’re reading a PDF!) when the chapter titles don’t look as though they contain what you need.
