I have bought several books on the making of e-covers before this one and two e-cover-making programs but have never managed to get beyond one badly cut-out photo stuck on top of another. This little book was a godsend to me. It is written in clear and simple non-technical language. Every step is shown, even the simplest which most teachers glide over. This is the first time I have understood how to use layers. I found paintnet which is Adrienne's graphics program of choice, easy to use. The bundle of plug-ins suggested by Adrienne was an Aladdin's cave and I am still wandering around inside discovering new marvels. An added bonus was the writer's own videos, not only because they were easy to follow, but also because she has the most wonderful teaching voice, low and calm. As well as being an excellent teaching tool, the book signposts a useful collection of resources. I am so, so glad I have this gem in my professional library.
