The chapter on graphics has a new section for online documents. The other chapters have been reworded slightly, and the suggested readings at the end of each chapter have been expanded. The book is well organized. Chapter titles are very descriptive, allowing the reader to find what he needs by scanning the table of contents, or by consulting the index written by Virgil Diodato. However, topics are covered briefly and sometimes superficially, and rarely include detailed explanations of how to do what the chapter title promises.
Sides gives common sense suggestions, occasionally distilling practical advice in bullet format.
