Previous reviewer wrote:
"if you have no clue what a stop is, or that larger aperture number means smaller opening and less light, and if you cannot visualize a difference between what a 24mm and 240mmm lenses would show, this book is a very good starting point." I agree and that's absolutely why I love this book. I really needed something basic. Pictures are beautiful and content is informative.

4.0 out of 5 stars
an all-in-one encyclopedic digital photography resource,
This review is from: Total Digital Photography (Paperback)
first off, this book comes in 2 different packaging, the one i got is titled "The Book of Digital Photography" although they are the exact same book. as the author himself said, this is truly an encyclopedic book of digital photography. almost all aspects of (digital) photography is covered and that includes sections on post-processing and printing/storage. it'll make a fine reference book for all photography lovers. the content is rich and diverse, with loads of pictures and diagrams to illustrate points. the high quality of the layout, pictures and text are undeniable. however, my only disappointment is the lack of clear instructions on the post-processing section, alot of the tools and features of post-processing is covered but they are generalised in just telling you what each feature does but not how to get around to doing it. but to be fair to the author, one would need a dedicated book on Adobe Photoshop in order to cover the subject in greater detail. nevertheless, it is a great resource on introducing one to almost all aspects of post-processing with everything clearly illustrated and before/after comparisons shown. the section on equipment/photography/accessories are truly excellent! you get a run-thru of the important aspects of all things photography and its makes interesting reading in bite-size portions for all photography lovers. i would have liked to rate this a 4.5 but unfortunately there are no half-points in the ratings here. i would heartily recommend this book for all photography fans as a "general digital photography reference guide" and would say its well worth the asking price. just a quick thumb-through of this book screams 'quality' but just wait til you jump in to digest tidbit info and you have much to inspire as well as to educate you on all aspects of digital photography. as with all things "encyclopedic", just don't expect everything to be broken down into the minutest detail and you won't be disappointed. every digital photographer should have this book by their bedside to keep the passion for the hobby going.
