Whilst not particularly difficult (once you understand how it works), one of the less intuitive aspects of Virtuemart (in my opinion) is that of setting up product attributes, as well as parent-child product associations. The explanations given in the book, are clear and helpful, with real-life examples showing how to add attributes and properties such as size and colour, as well as custom attributes (for personalised products) and parent-child relationships. These concepts are covered in such a way that they not only show you how to set things up, but also convey an understanding of the reason why the features are there and how they differ from one another, thus enabling you to choose the right configuration for your needs (for example, depending on what kind of stock control information you need to track).
