While for the most part, seasoned photographers will not find much new in the book; it remains a very good addition to your library, for some important technical details specific to digital photography.
If you are just starting in photography, or would like to graduate to "very good", then go ahead and get the book... otherwise, a single read through would suffice.

This book was a bit too technical for me. I think it would be a powerful resource for more experienced photographers, or maybe just more patient ones. It went in a bit too much detail for me. At first it was helpful, then I was just overwhelmed. I need a more basic, less technical version of this book.
Amazingly detailed and informative book about manmade and natural lighting. Great instruction!
Haven't finished the book yet so can't comment on how helpful it is. My rating is based mostly on the ass-poor production quality. Typos abound on every other page; sentences are not just dangling, they're not even finished, captions refer to non-existent photographs, and illustrations are applied to the wrong subject. That's just annoying and insulting to the reader (what, we're not supposed to notice?). Come on dudes, pay attention and proof your work, please.

Some of the best books/instruction manuals I've found on the topic.
This book is one of the better ones I have read on this subject. However (and in the end) I am just not a technical photographer. I either get the shot or I do not. Understanding the lighting of it all (the technical aspects of it) BORES me to tears. It's like I need an IEP for this subject because I cannot focus or sit still long enough to learn and apply the techniques. I know. I am disappointed in myself, too. Sigh.
Excelllent book on lighting. Should have read it a few years ago as it is describes in great detail what one needs to know about lighting for digital cameras
am trying to improve my skills in photography sense am planing to buy a new lens.
