Guess what book I'm getting for my birthday?
All the hype about this book made me curious, so I ordered it from the Library. It is a pretty book, a coffee table kind of book, but for me not the easy kind of book to curl up with and spend so time with. The contents are all there, the same info I can get from Bruce Barnbaum, Eddie Ephrams, John Hedgecoe, Graves, Tim Rudman, Webb and others bought & paid for ready on my bookshelf to be again read. But it is a pretty book.
It is a fantastic book. I just wished it was available 20 years ago. Would have made me a better photographer faster.
It not only is a great resource and reference tool...the author after you purchase the buy (at least he did in my case and I have no reason to believe he doesn't do it for all purchasers of this 2nd edition) sends you an email asking if you want to receive his emails and then with an affirmative nod, you are placed on his email list for updates, pdf files, etc. which enable you to use various charts/forms etc. that are used in his revised edition. It definitely is worth the money.

Sounds like a great book. Looking to pick it up after I finish The Art of Photography.
