2.0 out of 5 stars Good text: really bad table of contents and index, August 28, 2007
By 
This review is from: The PIP Expanded Guide to the Canon EOS 350D/Digital Rebel XT (PIP Expanded Guide Series) (Paperback)
It is a shame when authors go to the effort to produce a nice bit of text and their work is ruined by a really lousy table of contexts and a worse index. The pip guide lists, without subheadings:
Chapter 2: Operation Guide... p. 22
Chapter 3 Into the Field... p. 110

So what, you may ask, is within those 88 pages and how would you find it? The index? It is so sparse as to be relatively (if not completely) useless. For example, find "autoexposure bracketing" in either the index or the table of contents. Nope, not there.

The Rebel XT owners guide table of contents is extensive, with entries for most subjects. True, the Canon index is also bad, but at least the table of contents is decent, with entries averaging every 3 pages or so.

Stick with the Canon Guide until Pip comes up with a decent table of contents and index.
