I bought this book after getting my rebel xt and couldn't wait for it to arrive. The user manual that came with the camera didn't help at all and I was looking forward to getting a book that could help get me started in the right direction.
Well, it took over 6 weeks for the book to arrive and when it did I found it to be nothing but a glorifed user manual. Very disappointing.
I have had better luck from Popular Photography magazine and learning from books written by professionals like John Shaw and Art Wolfe.
This book wasn't worth the price and wait for it to arrive.
