    I've played with cypher a bit, and it seems like a very powerful tool for working in Neo4j. I would love to be able to leverage the technology in more meaningful ways and this book would help me accomplish that goal. Pick me!!!

    I am the First person to introduce about neo4j in my university where I am doing my research(Ph.D). Now if I get a book, again I will be the first person to have a book in this latest technology which not even my university library owns one. So I may get a privilege to set a syllabus for my students.

    I'm tired of relying on searching google for Cypher examples! I've got graphenedb and neo4jphp doing well for me, but need to get better with cypher now that I can pull data for display! Thanks!

    I need this book to use Cypher in the best way in my production environment when I deploy it. I have done the testing in development. I need to make sure that I am using the best Cypher queries (might need to redesign the nodes/relationships/labels)
