5.0 out of 5 stars Best of all the Guides March 12, 2009
Format:Paperback
I also have the Dummies book and the Wiley Field Guide, both of which are good, but when I really need to look up something this is the book I turn to, and the answers are always there. Of all of the guides out there, this is the most useful, most detailed, most informative.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nikon D90 Guidebook July 5, 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The Magic Lantern series is an old faithful - thorough and understandable. This guide is likely best suited for those new to Nikon DSLR's. It would also be useful to intermediate users. The awesome D90 performs so well out of the box that a guide like this is not necessary, but it is well worth the money.
Strong points include explanations of: focus, metering, flash, custom settings.
If you are relatively new to digital photography, a competing guide - Nikon D90 Digital Field Guide - contains much of the depth in this Magic Lantern Guide plus a good deal of solid advice on general digital photography technique. For those in this situation, if you were to buy one D90 book only, I'd go with the Field Guide.

2.0 out of 5 stars Poor index August 14, 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The book provides some additional insight into the operation of the D90 camera but it suffers from a very poor index. For me, a good index is critical to a technical book. This book leaves out so many topics that I found myself referring to the Nikon manual most of the time because it has a thorough index. Consequently, I would not recommend this book.

The biinding is extremely poor, pages fall apart. Opening the book flat causes the spine to tear and whole sections of the book to fall apart.

1.0 out of 5 stars No good
This book is no good. I bought this book to get the most out of my D90 but was disappointed with the contents and the pictures. The D90 manual is better than this.

2.0 out of 5 stars LACK OF AN INDEX
The book is overall reasonable but it lacks an Index. It is primarily a reference book and reference books without an Index are annoying and of little help.
