Anyone have this book? Is it any good?

Hi,

I have that book as well as the second edition of it which basically carries on from where the topics in the first book were covered. I like Scott's style of humour and the way he explains things in both books, I haven't read them in a while as I have moved onto other area's of photography since but they are good referance books without needing to read through extensive sections on particular topics/styles just to get a basic understanding on something you might be interested in-this is where more dedicated book's on things like studio lighting, portraits etc come in to their own.

Scott also has books for thing's like Photoshop etc, and I think he even has/had his own website with video's on Photoshop lessons etc, he's well known in the photography community.

I haven't read that book but I have Scott Kelby's books on Photoshop CS2,CS3 & CS4 for Digital Photographers and would recommend these...... very easy style of writing and uses small chunks of info so also easy to follow step by step.

Mr Gardner ???? (How weird didn't know my missus had taken up photography)?????
 
There's 3 volumes to it, I've got all three and there very good, neat books. If you like the first one I'd recommend getting the 2nd and 3rd as there not revisions but continuations of the first book.
 
I've got that one, and I'm reading through it. It's pretty good.

Thanks for the lead Mrs G. Had a look through the index on Amazon and it looks spot on. If my local Waterstones stock it, then I'll have it tomorrow.:thumbs:
 
I have a Photoshop book by Scott Kelby and it is a great book. Very clear and simple to follow. So, I would think that if it is similar style it will be great.
 
Thanks everyone, have done a deal with Deano for his copy!
Looks like a great book then, glad its helped others choose!
