The tips in this book are valuable. They are all "common sense" to experienced photographers and "total mystery" to everyone else. The tips are actually a compendium of daily tips made into a book - with that in mind, it would have been much better if they had been edited out of daily tip format. In several places the tip begins "Today's tip is..." Also, "get the camera off automatic", while important, is repeated in every one of the first ten tips. It does need to be repeated, but this is the equivalent of saying it ten times in ten minutes. Very annoying.There are punctuation errors and wrong word usages (their/there) that should have been corrected. The biggest flaw with this book lies in the use of the over-pixilated key photo and the poor quality of the cover photo. The example photos inside are high res and translate very well. The blurry cover and heavily artifacted key are likely to make people think the tips aren't going to be of use. They are. The information is very good and applying the tips will improve your photography.
