   I bought it and after a quick view of it seems to be a good catch! I am a beginner to Django and before this I have read the "The Definitive guide to Django"

   (Technically I'm a published author too, I wrote the forms chapter of The Definitive Guide to Django and contributed a chapter to the Art and Science of JavaScript but those were both single chapters almost 20 years ago now so I don't really think of myself as a book author these days.)

   Sorry, I didn't really investigated project based Python books.

   I considered Python/Django for another personal project recently. I started with Adrian Holovaty, Jacob Kaplan-Moss The Definitive Guide to Django Web Development Done Right. But I never finished the book as I decided against using Python/Django for web development and settled on PHP/Laravel.

   Can anyone recommend a sequential order of books and resources to read and learn to learn Python and Django?

   Suppose my objective is to create a simple webapp and host it on Google App Engine, what should I be reading when?

   I've started with Learning Python the Hardway and I'm currently going through Head First Python. Next up on my reading list is The Definitive Guide to Django Web Development Done Right.
