Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Book for Digital Photographers,The (Voices That Matter)
Scott Kelby
New Riders Press, 2007
A Great Reference
I own several books written by the Photoshop Boys because they are written to tell you specifically how to do certain things. There is a minimal amount of theory (I like to know something about "why" things happen) and a lot of step-by-step "how to". I learned ...

Scott Kelby's 7-Point System for Adobe Photoshop CS3 (Voices)
Scott Kelby
Peachpit Press, 2007
Excellent book from Scott Kelby
Scott Kelby is a prolific author, but his output is often little more than collections of recycled hints and tips. And all too often it is delivered in a style that Kelby obviously considers as humorous - and I find grating and annoying.
In the 7-Point System, ...

Amber-Allen Publishing, 2004
A VITAL RESOURCE FOR THOSE WHO ADVISE OTHERS!
I have read and enjoyed previous work of Don Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements, The Four Agreements Companion Book, and The Mastery of Love. This last book I've probably liked better than the other ones. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because it's a lesser known book or ...

Boom!: Voices of the Sixties Personal Reflections on the '60s and Today
Tom Brokaw
Random House, 2007
Ignore the negative reviews - this is as even as you can get
I'm guessing that the negative comments came from people who are only happy when a book totally trashes everything liberal and glorifies everything conservative. That's not what this book is about, but it is about as even handed as one could attempt. As opposed to what ...
