Dan does a great job in writing information that is easy to follow.  This makes his books great for anyone starting out in photography and for anyone that needs a quick refresher.  In this book, he really does a great job in explaining many of the dos and don'ts when creating a portrait.  There was however one minor detail that was over- looked, glasses!  Dan pointed out how to correct for crooked noses and uneven eyes, but I didn't see where (possibly I missed it)glasses were mentioned.  My child has had to wear glasses lately and are a part of her character.  So many times when I photograph her, I don't ask her to remove them.  The flash that bounces back from the lenses and sometimes the frames alone, can ruin what could have been an excellent shot.  This can be resolved by shifting your position slightly (if using an on camera flash) or by having your subject angle their glasses so the lenses are tilted at a slight downward angle.
