I learned some valuable tips that made it worth the price, but there's no index so either memorize every tip, or plan on digging a lot to recall something.

This review is from: Avid Xpress Pro and DV On the Spot: Time Saving Tips & Shortcuts from the Pros (On The Spot {Series}) (Paperback)

I love this book, I've used it as a reference during production, and as bed time reading just to help me get a better handle on what the software can do. I would recommend it to any one trying to advance their Avid knowledge, and based on this experience I would recommend the rest of the series as appropriate for what applications you're running.
