This is a comprehensive, easily accessible guide, written for the beginner as well as the advanced digital photographer. It would take many readings to absorb it all. Each topic is discussed in simple, straightforward language and beautifully illustrated. It has a comprehensive Table of Contents and a good index. It's a library book and has to go back, long before I've digested it. Probably, I should own it.

Visually appealing and clear, with one or two pages per topic, including tips for editing and effects. I didn't notice any shortcomings from being published almost a decade ago; it's an excellent introduction.

A lot of good information, not in depth.
