Overall, great resource. If you're new to the world of recording and Pro Tools this book will help demystify mixing. I would highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn more about mixing in the Pro Tools world

This book is very useful and is 90% hands-on with the CD included having Pro Tools sessions for all examples.
All examples are easily accessed, being set up with Pro Tools markers. It is worth the money!

Good. Practical. Info.
for those who have basic knowledge of recording practices and pro tools itself.

I've been a post-production sound engineer for more than twenty years, and I am also a trainer. As the latter, I find the exercises to be a very effective way to teach the art of mixing. They move at an excellent pace, and give the beginner a fantastic opportunity to learn about EQ, dynamics, time-based effects and various special effects, and how they are used within a mix. There is also a chapter on advanced dynamics for the intermediate user, some very useful chapters on automation and stereo enhancement, and some great tips on how to achieve an interesting and dynamic mix. All in all, an excellent, hands-on training manual, which is especially useful for the kinesthetic, rather than theoretical, learner.

You must have some sort of practical basic experience with Pro Tools to be able to use this book. Some ideas are presented clearly, however, others need more explanation in simpler terms. Because of this, I lost interest in some chapters and felt like I was sitting in a college lecture sitting there "lost". I would not recommend this book for older teens or anyone just entering the audio field.

Mixing In Pro tools is a good book from Course Technology Cengage Learning, Brian Smithers. This book has developing me to understanding how to mixing and using in pro tools. And I need more books about Pro tools, such as Beginner to Advanced Mastering in Pro tools, and also Beginner to Advanced how to using plug-ins in Pro tools.
