Customer Review: Very comprehensive

This book definitely covers pretty much everything -- sometimes in ultra-minute detail -- that you would need to know in order to understand the basic fundamentals of the art of photography. For anyone with medium to advanced photographic experience, this book will have a lot of pages to skip. However, even for those expert photographers, this book contains a lot of odd technical details that are required for testing for certification (such as for PPA) that you may have forgotten since high school, or that you just may have never learned on your own through self-study and/or trial and error. In short, this book is a valuable reference to have handy for any serious photographer.

Customer Review: Could have been better

I thought that this book would be in better condition. A lot of the pages were bent and wrinkled and the back cover had a sticker the was ripped off. Overall quality - POOR! The book was packaged nicely and shipped fast.
