I bought this book a month back. From the day I bought this book till now, I have seen a marked improvement in the photographs I take. I did not know much about photography and now I am able to look for details in a photograph and am able to judge on how it could have been improved. I cannot claim to have mastered the art of photography but I am certainly thinking now before I go about taking a picture. Another thing that was cool about this book is that it was well laid out and joe had explained the techniques in a very crisp fashion(unlike in otherbooks where you find a lot of text that really puts off even a determined learner).

Got the book and I can use some of the techniques, but I knd of already knew them. The pictures are great in this book, but they all seem to be from the eraly 80s or from Russia. I wouldn't get this book again unless I checked it out at the library.
