2.0 out of 5 stars Don't , June 1, 2008
By Elar Alexander (Brittany, France) - See all my reviews
The book shows many advanced pictures as if it will teach you to create them but they are all DUMMY pictures. IMO this is a rip off. Half of the book just tells you how to use the menu, file, save etc.

I just returned the book at barnes and Noble. I will recommend to read the USER GUIDE (F1 HELP) which comes with Expression Design which do the same JOB 500% better with a tutorial on CREATING ACTUAL EXAMPLES.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible "Book", October 31, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
There's not much to write about this book - it is merely a colorful menu tutorial. I develope the back-end tier for web applications. I was seeking more how-to on the front-end, I do basic graphic work. I expected more from a [...] contributor. My bad for not digging deeper.
