2.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this book - Another is better!!!!, August 3, 2002

By	"martin_in_virginia" (Sterling, VA USA) - See all my reviews

If you are interested in learning Sonar or Sonar2, the books by Scott Garrigus are better (see below).

This "Quick Start" book can be completed in 1.5 hours. Even though this book comes with a CD (containing some tutorial files), I was very disappointed. While the instructions were clear, I didn't feel I learned enough to justify the ...cost. This book has 48 pages (really big print).

The books I recommend as an alternative are:
- "Sonar Power" by Scott R. Garrigus
- "Sonar2 Power" by Scott R. Garrigus

I have the Sonar Power book...
