Overall, this book is a good introduction to Lightroom. I picked it up to read before I decided to purchase the program. As a comprehensive reference book it falls way short. For instance the index is poor - many topics are not included in the index yet there is information provided in the text. In addition, many of the features and functions of Lightroom are missing from this book. For example, there is no mention of the "Painter" icon and what it does in the Library Module yet he devotes three pages to showing you how to change the Identity Plate - like I need to see my name in place of "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom."
Again, a good introduction but not a particularly useful reference book.
