iPhoto 2 for Mac OS X: Visual QuickStart Guide

Rating:
Summary: Excellent for novice and expert alike.
Review: I was surprised by how good this book is. I browsed it an Apple store and paid [item price] for it there. I think of myself as almost an iPhoto expert, I read the many online sources, I read the manual, I know a lot of the weird shortcuts, etc. etc.

Even so, I learned a lot from a few minutes with this book. The advice on ordering photo books is alone worth the cost of the book. I can't judge how readable it is for a novice, but it's very clearly written and the pictures are excellent. I think it would work well for a novice too.

The author uses photos of his son Tristan throughout the book. Hopefully by the time Tristan is a teenager he will not have access to this book.

Really, a super book. There's no Apple provided iPhoto manual and the online help file is somewhat feeble. Buy this book.
