Summary: Good Buy
Review: This is what I like about the Angie Taylor book:
1. It is in color - Rating 1 out of 1. Publishers take note: I just won't buy a book that is b&w with the color pics on the CD.
2. It has a CD (but could look to a DVD with update and more samples etc. See the DVD that ships with the book Studio Secrets - Premiere and After Effects) - Rating 1 of possible 3. Publishers take note - I won't buy a book without a CD and soon without a DVD.
3. Content covers the basics and some of the new features - Rating 2.5 of 5 if you are an experienced user; 4.5 out of 5 if you are a new user
4. She has a great website where she have put out new tutorials to keep up with new features like integrating Cinema4d with AE and lip sync - This saves you money - you don't have to buy a whole new book to take advange of each new AE realease. Rating 3 out of possible 3

Summary: Buy this book
Review: When I first got AE 5.0 I was lost. When I started on Angie's book everything quickly became familar. Just a quarter of the way through the book and I felt as comfortable with it as I do with Photoshop and Premiere. The lessons are straight forward and she continually shows you different ways to execute commands. The CD which accompanies the book is loaded with clips and pics to experiment with. She also offers advice throughout the book on how to achieve and maintain a creative mindset. This is a very well rounded tutorial for creative minds in the NLE world.Daniel S. Gillen

Summary: It's a must have book!
Review: When i first got the AE,i just opened them,felt totally stupid and after 1 minute i closed them and i swore never to open them again ( sounds familiar to you? )...until i bought Angie's book on AE.It's basically an excellent book,you start off with simple things and you even learn the intimidating stuff like scripting, expressions,parenting and 3D with total ease (i never even dare to dream about scripting...).The book is far away from those dull&boring "computer" books with just plain theory and no practice.So if you wanna learn AE,look no further,just go and get this book!

Summary: The best book by far ..
Review: With reading this book over the past few weeks, I have managed to produce my first piece of work with ease! Angie Taylor is one of those people who can put down in writing exactly what is needed to teach this kind of software, with out being patronising or going over the top technical jargon. This book was'nt the first book I have read but was far more enjoyable and informative with all major topics covered including parenting and expressions, which where covered in just enough detail to give me a taste of what can be done with this great program.

Review: You need this book. Simple. AE is a hard program, Angie teaches you how to think with AE in a straightforward style. This is one of the "must have" books. Simple as can be.
