Exactly what the title states, it delivers and in a quite detailed fashion. In terms of depth of information and complexity of concepts, it falls in the middle of a book like “The Internet of Money” (which, although a reasonably quality read is mainly a primer for overall concepts and relating the paradigm shift that cryptocurrency and the blockchain represent) and “Mastering Bitcoin” (a rather technical breakdown of how the blockchain works from a mathmatical and computer science basis). For the unindoctrinated, this book might have too much information and go into too much detail on how financial transactions work and why the blockchain is truly revolutionary. For the generally knowledgable investor, developer or interested outsider, this book goes into great detail on the major constructs and functionality of the blockchain. It does not possess the hype or opinion that so often permeates this topic but instead offers clear and concise chapters discussing main points quite thoroughly. Again, this is non-technical in the sense that it does not go into topics such as discussing the bitcoin API or go into mathmatecal detail on how a public key is calculated using elliptic curve multiplication, but technical to a point where it gives you a proper education on blockchain functionality and how it relates and what the parallels are to the current financial systems in place. Review: Easy to read. - I won’t go to in-depth as I don’t like spending to of my much time writing reviews but since I got the opportunity at this moment I figure why not help the author with a well appreciated simplistically put book breaking down the main idea of what block chain technology is. If you are looking for a great starter book. This one is a great place to start. If your looking for a very technical book for advanced folks. This is not the book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #252,726 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #32 in Computer Cryptography #34 in Web Encryption #110 in Banks & Banking (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (771) | | Dimensions | 6.1 x 0.63 x 9.25 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 1484226038 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1484226032 | | Item Weight | 13.9 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 270 pages | | Publication date | March 16, 2017 | | Publisher | Apress | ## Images ![Blockchain Basics: A Non-Technical Introduction in 25 Steps - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/718bo4F0KPL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simply Excellent. *by R***L on November 10, 2017* If you want a more thorough and granular understanding of the blockchain, this should be one of the top three books you read.

If you are looking for a great starter book. This one is a great place to start. If your looking for a very technical book for advanced folks. This is not the book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A very good primer on blockchains *by H***Y on October 29, 2018* This book is a very fine basic read on blockchains and the importance of this software in the future of not only digital currency but a lot of other arenas as well. In fact, in the long run, digital currency may well be the least important of industries that the blockchain technology will disrupt and disrupt significantly. I had three issues with the book: first, there is a bit too much redundancy in the book. I'm sure the author felt it necessary given the technical nature of the blockchain, its algorithms, and hash puzzles, so this is a minor criticism. More serious to me was the high number of grammatical and typographical errors in the book. The author is a good writer; his copy editor was somewhat blind. There must be three dozen errors, the most irritating of which is the lack of subject/verb agreement. My final negative is the end of the book where the author talks about the future impact of blockchain on a variety of industries. This was dealt with too simplistically and it appeared that the author wanted to finish the book and not bother with some in-depth thinking about how blockchains can impact and disrupt many industries in the future. That said, if you are interested in blockchains, this is a very good way to start. And unless you are quite technical, albeit this is a book for beginners, you will find yourself wondering throughout the book how this all really works. ## Frequently Bought Together - Blockchain Basics: A Non-Technical Introduction in 25 Steps - The Basics of Bitcoins and Blockchains: An Introduction to Cryptocurrencies and the Technology that Powers Them (Cryptography, Derivatives Investments, Futures Trading, Digital Assets, NFT) - The Bitcoin Standard: The Decentralized Alternative to Central Banking --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/46650826-blockchain-basics-a-non-technical-introduction-in-25-steps](https://www.desertcart.in/products/46650826-blockchain-basics-a-non-technical-introduction-in-25-steps) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
