This book does have great information! There is no doubt about that. If you are a beginnner to digital, this would not be a bad book to start with.
With that said, I wish the book had been set up better. It is all black and white which doesn't work well when you are trying to see the difference between various settings. In the middle of the book is a colored section with the example photos in full color, but flipping to that all the time is a true pain in the bum!
I did return this book back to Amazon due to my disappointment.
For THE BEST book on producing high quality images, I would recommend Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson.
