OK book,

This review is from: How to DJ: The Insider's Guide to Success on the Decks (Paperback)
The book was OK. To be honest though I did not get much out of it. If you really want to learn to DJ a book is not the answer. You need to practice with your own hands. If you want a DJ book check out "Last Night A DJ Saved My Life." A much better book.
