Very helpful

Great book, but very"Americany", ie, lots of references to shops and other things only in the US. Also as well as telling you about all the expensive equipment you need, gives some ways of getting around purchasing lots of expensive kit.<br /><br /><br />A very useful and easy to understand book about basics of Digital Photography.

Excellent read

I have got most of Robert Goddards books,and this latest was one of the best. Kept you guessing right to the end, Could'nt put it down.

Hit Trilogy

Just as great as its predecessors.<br /><br />The Digital Photography Book: v. 3 builds on the first two volumes with useful hints and tips of photographic techniques and equipment.<br /><br />Brilliant for Photographers at all levels and will inevitably improve your game. It's like your on a photo shoot with Scott Kelby. He's straight talking and to the point, which is perfect as in photography you don't often get chance to beat around the bush. <br /><br />You could start on this book but I highly recommend getting all three.

The best in the series

I've bought three of the Sew Pretty/Sew Sunny series and this is definitely the best. The projects are so inspiring and very simple to do. The pictures in the book are beautiful and made me want to redecorate the whole house in this lovely style! A real bargain buy - you'll spend hours browsing and sewing!

A classic, and justly so

As Krug says, it's a short book ("short enough you can read it on a long 'plane ride"), and his simple, chatty style makes you think"but that's obvious - why does he need to tell me that?" But don't be deceived: the man knows what he's talking about, and it does need saying.<br /><br />Krug takes it as read that if you're building a website, you'd want it to be as obvious, simple, and intuitive for your users as possible. There's three messages that come through strongly in the book: firstly, it's easier when you stick to the rules (which he tells you). Secondly, that even if you follow the rules, you'll still need to test your designs (and you'll be glad you did). Thirdly, that you can deliver a good result despite the politics of the web development team. <br /><br />Having read"Don't make me think", you'll be shouting"Aha! You should have.." at almost every website you encounter. But don't be fooled: the messages in this book extend far beyond website design - they apply equally to application software, appliances, even the design of paper forms! <br /><br />Should be compulsory reading for anyone involved in any form of development.

Excellent book

This is a must have book for Photographers, I love it and I am inspired by things in this book. Great buy...<br /><br />Go get it!!!!

Van 'Hock' as the Dutch correctly say...

Useful souvenir of the excellent exhibition. Catalogues all the letters & paintings displayed<br />at the R.A. 2010. Sadly, despite being quite well printed, the illustrations simply<br />can't match the luminous quality of the originals. The best of which simply<br />'leapt off the walls' as if they'd just been painted. But hey, that's why you have to<br />visit the exhibition & see them in the flesh.

Useful tips and tricks of the trade

This book is filled with excellent exposures/photographs. If you are new to photography or just bought your first Digital SLR the book is very recommended. Many good tips are shared and there are plenty of inspiration to go around. I learned a lot from this book.

classic cool covers

Its an inspiring reading list and i cant wait to turn my cards into a massive poster.

Great book for beginners

I purchased volume 1 of the series and thought it was very good. With volume 2 I expected Scott to take it much further. I was very disappointed b/c I still find it very basic almost like a re-written volume 1. However for a beginner I would say this book will offer a lot of info and handy tips.

What a find!

First saw it at a friend's house, had to buy it for Christmas for my teenage<br />daughter who appreciates art (esp. Banksy). It's so full of audacious imagination, it proves we should avoid always being tied down by convention, whether by peer pressure or the constant neeed to conform. "Be yourself" is what Banksy says to me in this book. It is important that you do, otherwise the world will miss out and so will you

The complete Maus

I bought it as present. Black and white"comic" telling the story of the jews in the Varsovia ghetto

Ways of Seeing

Interesting book but I found it a little tricky at times to keep reading it. <br />Again was sent quickly and packaged well.

Awesome!

I've watched Kat on Miami Ink and now on LA Ink, and so was eagerly anticipating her book release; having seen her talk of it on the show. The book definitely lives up to the expectations I had, getting an insight into Kat's history and her inspirations, as well as lots of photos of her work. There's also great photos and explanations of Kat's own tattoos - whioh is excellent. It's a must-buy for anyone who is interested in tattoos, or Kat herself.

A Life Saver

I bought this at the same time I bought Photoshop CS4. If I hadn't bought this book I would have been lost, the tutorials are easy to follow and I'm slowly learning all about CS4. Nice results so far.

Great source for tatto design and also to find the perfect tattooist.

Bought this book as my tattooist is in it. There are some great artists in here and I have found a number of people I would want to do my next ink. Also if your not looking to get a tattoo done it's a great coffee table piece!!!

Very useful companion to photoshop 8

This is proving to be a very useful aid to understanding how to get the best out of Adobe Photoshop Elements 8. It illustrates the possibilities and leads you through what you need to do to achieve the desired results.

Great photo book

This book contains the winning and commended photo's from the competition and the exposition. The quality of the photo reproduction is excellent.<br /><br />The book is not a 'How to' photo book and does not contain the 'technique' of nature photography. Instead the photo's show the diversity of nature photography and are, for me, an inspiration to take a different approach to making nature photographs. The captions contain the photographers notes on how and when the winning photo's were made.
