Professional SharePoint 2013 Development is written by a series of SharePoint MVPs with various areas of expertise that come together to contribute their knowledge.
The book starts in the first couple chapters with an overview of SharePoint 2013 architecture and new features that are quite different from earlier versions, and this will well explained.
Subsequent chapters look at SharePoint Developers tools and what is required to develop successfully. The core of the book focuses on SharePoint 2013 with Azure, Workflow, InfoPath, Social Applications and developing apps.
The book itself is quite wordy and serves more as a reference book, to be used in conjunction with MSDN and other technical resources to achieve the desired result. However, it is possible to download code samples from the Wrox.com website.
It does lack actual development examples and sometimes doesn’t delve into a proper explanation of why things happen and this makes serious development difficult. For example, one area that the book doesn’t cover in detail is branding and user interface design.
A better title for the book would have been something like “A Professional SharePoint 2013 Reference Manual” as quite a lot of the content is background to the actual topic, which a SharePoint developer should already familiar with and more relevant to a SharePoint Matter Expert (SME).
The book gets 5 out of 10 as it is well detailed with some good diagrams, but does need to be better organised in places.

Full of history and introductions. Useless for already experienced developers on SharePoint.

This book is not about professional development as title says. It is mostly about administering and configuring sharepoint server 2013, creating solutions with SharePoint Designer. It would suit IT pros but not professional developers.
