1.0 out of 5 stars Wait for the next one, December 28, 2005

This review is from: Apple Pro Training Series: Getting Started with Aperture (Paperback)

This book is merely a text copy of the information that ships with the training DVD you get when you buy Aperture. In other words, you already have all this information if you own the program. The only value to this book is as a companion to the DVD or if you don't own the program and want to see what it can do. I'd wait for the next title in the series if you want some real training.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do NOT buy this book!, December 22, 2005

By 

David B. bogie "bogiesan" (Boise, Idaho USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Apple Pro Training Series: Getting Started with Aperture (Paperback)

This slim volume is mostly white space and very large type. None of the information in this little booklet is particularly helpful nor illuminating and it should have all been included with the application anyway.
Buying this dumb little "book" will only reinforce your frustration with Aperture and your distaste for Apple.

Don't do it.

NO! Go to jail, do not pass go!
I bought it, big $26 mistake, same junk as comes with Aperture...Nothing at all new!
Skip this and go beyond. Shame on Peachpit for even passing this off as a learning tool.
SHAME!! ZERO STARS!!
