This book gives not only an in-depth look at how to use the Nikon D60 camera, it's also much easier and more interesting than navigating through the manual that comes with the camera. The author also goes into detail about how to use the various settings, under what conditions to use them, as well as a range of other topics that will only help you become better not only in using the camera but in taking quality photographs as well. Highly recommended.
Peterson's "Understanding Exposure" taught me the basics of (d)SLR photography, and this book showed me how to take photos with my camera. An excellent combination. Definitely read this instead of the (dry, difficult to navigate) manual that comes with the camera.
