The subtitle reads that the course is 20 weeks. I can easily see getting through the book a lot quicker but I can also see it taking that long or longer if you reread chapters that confuse you. (Meaning me!😁)
This is a great alternative to taking a photography class if you don't have any extra time or a class close to home. I'm 3 chapters in and I'm really enjoying it.
I think this book would be excellent for the rank novice with absolutely no knowledge of f-stops, shutter speed or ISO's, or for a home-school environment as each chapter has multiple exercises to complete which each require several hours. However, for those who have a life other than their camera, devoting hours a day to the practice exercises is impractical.
I found a camera-specific guidebook more helpful in learning to use my camera and suggest that you consider that option, too.
The book is laid out very well with easy-to-read diagrams, chunks of text, pictures, examples, etc. It's very easy to follow. It does not cover things 100% in-depth, but it told me what I needed to ask Google (e.g. I was curious about the origin of ISO and how it translates to digital photography, and I needed more information on spot-metering, so I augmented).
I bought this book because I wanted to become better at photography this year. I have a middle-of-the-road DSLR camera and I know SOME things, but not how or why they work. As an example, I knew that a higher ISO made my picture lighter, but not why. I also knew how to change aperture, and what it did, but I didn't really know how to combine these things in certain situations. Rather, I'd experiment until I found a picture I liked, then hope that what I saw on my screen was what would actually turn out! It's a hefty book, but useful to pick and choose modules to learn when I realize that I don't understand them! I definitely recommend!
Format aside, the content is garbage as well. The entire book is basically a bunch of bullet points, with images taking up 80% of the page space. The book never gets to a single point. you will not learn anything substantive from this book. You will only learn just enough to understand that you don't know anything about photography.

The quality of this book is amazing when compared to some of the other books i bought. The Hardcover is sturdy and strong, the pages are lovely, think and good quality paper. The colour illustrations are also top notch.
Whilst i haven read the whole book cover to cover, as a beginner I have found the information and illustrations , easy to understand and follow.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is beginning learning photography.
