This review is from: L.L. Bean Outdoor Photography Handbook, Revised and Updated (Paperback)

This is a really enjoyable book to read or to just view the photos. It's very informative, the photos are fantastic. I'd recommend any books by this author. The authors personal touch is just enough by adding a short mention of the personal life which makes this handbook feel like a one on one experience. Kind of like sitting around a coffee table and having a very interesting conversation and not wanting it to end soon. The handbook is small enough to pack in a med size camera bag or to just carry along on a field trip, plane, etc
The book measures approx. 1" x 7" x 10" and has 191 pages not including the five additional pages of contents list and publisher info at the beginning.
It's great book for just about anybody or any age from a novice to beginner. In this a beautiful convenient world of todays photography the book will help you understand alot of both film and digital photgraphy! I'm sure there are many other handbooks that go extremely deep into detail but I found this book to be perfect.
I really HoPe You EnjoY it as much as I do!
