5.0 out of 5 stars Very useful first book on YouTube, June 10, 2007

By	Waldemar Puszkarz "eminimethods.com" - See all my reviews

I have come across this book in my local Borders bookstore just today and as a huge fan and frequent user of YouTube I must say that I like it a lot. The book is perfectly suitable for beginners and I believe that it was written with them in mind. However, because of its pretty comprehensive character, it can serve well as a basic reference manual for all other readers as well. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to learn more about YouTube.

5.0 out of 5 stars YouTube 4You is an Excellent Start, and More..., October 5, 2007

By	Bruce B. Razban (Silicon Valley, California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

YouTube 4You is an Excellent Start, and More...

I picked this book since I wanted to quickly come to speed with YouTube.

This book did exactly that!

Also, like other work done by Michael Miller, this too is an impressing work. It is very clear that the author knows what he is talking about, and he is good in making difficult things easy to understand.

Chapters 1 to 11 are great introduction 4 everyone and viewers, on how to create and share videos including legal issues!

Chapters 12 to 16, which is 4 Advanced Users goes beyond introduction and helps you join the YouTube Community, adding your Blog, and even profiting from your videos as well as how to troubleshoot.

Excellent, brief and to the point, with pictures and examples, and professionally written!

It is also well worth the price.
