1.The Digital Photography Book Volume 2: The Step-by-Step Secrets for How to Make Your Photos Look Like the Pros! (Digital Photography) by: Scott Kelby January 10, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £13.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £8.39 You Save: £5.60 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £6.82
I've been a wedding photographer for 25 years. I thought this was going to be another "how to take photos book". I've liked other Scott Kelby books so whilst in a bookstore picked it up just for a quick glance, but was suprised to see how much detail he went into. Each page being a new subject, it gave a detailed taster of each subject without all the waffle many books have, and then gave links to websites where you could read more or get equipement that is hard to find. To me it was worth it just for those hard to find links.

2.The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book: The Complete Guide for Photographers by: Martin Evening August 14, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £28.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £14.49 You Save: £14.50 (50%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £13.05
Having bought and enjoyed the Scott Kelby Lightroom 1 book I thought, variety being the spice of life, that for Lightroom 2 I would buy the Martin Evening book. Having seen the Evening LR1 book in shops I was surprised to see that the pages in the LR2 book are smaller but to compensate the book is about 50% thicker. For me this has a handling disadvantage but more importantly the screen shots have to be smaller. This means that with many examples I struggle to see what the screen shot is trying to convey. Indeed the text on many of the screenshots is unreadable. There is also a big difference in styles and approaches between the two authors. Evening tells you at length what every module, button and slider is for. Kelby ... Read More:

3.Nikon D40/D40x Digital Field Guide by: David D. Busch September 25, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £13.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £8.39 You Save: £5.60 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £6.32
This book does exactly what it says on the cover, takes you through all the functions (with easy to see colour pictures)), working with light, exposure, photographing different subjects, etc. It explains your Nikon D40 and all of the features, I cannot recommend this highly enough. Between this and the Ken Rockwell website I have learnt so much about the D40.

5.The Genealogist's Internet by: Peter Christian August 31, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £12.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £8.44 You Save: £4.55 (35%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £7.35
I was lucky enough to be given this as a birthday gift when I first got into my Family Tree. It is a really useful resource helping a beginner find their way around the wealth of info available on the web to the amateur genealogist. There is info on where to start and on the whole aray of online sources. A great book, worth the money.

6.Digital SLR Cameras and Photography for Dummies (For Dummies) by: David D. Busch October 19, 2007

I think I must need a 'Total Idiot's Guide' as this was not what I thought it would be. Being a complete beginner with dSLR, I thought this book would be a step-by-step guide on 'How To....' I was a bit wide of the mark - although the book says a lot about why you should do this over that, etc it left me lost on how to actually do it. So I'm using my camera on Auto until my Nikon book arrives. Let's hope I'll have more success with that one.

As a person who is an author first, a self-publisher second and a computer expert (a very poor) third, I found this book a gentle introduction to the process of creating covers for my 'Virtual Trilogy' series of books and for the accompanying website. As usual, the simple to read language and humorous cartoon interludes between chapters give the deceptive impression that this manual is lightweight - which it most certainly is not. Photoshop is (at least in my humble opinion)a very advanced computer graphics programme and the manual accompanying it has a bewildering array of information that is (again in my humble opinion) not as accessible as it might be. This 'For Dummies' version however,is easy to read, detailed enough to be useful ... Read More:
