As mentioned in my reviews of other books associated with digital photography, my own personal conversion from film to digital photography has been a very steep leaning curve and not all the products I have purchased were useful. Furthermore, I have been very disappointed with some of the books I have purchased.
To be clear, this is one of the good books but I do consider the price charged to be far too expensive for what it is. I say this because I am well aware of what goes into the making of an expensive book and this product should have been marketed at two thirds of the publishers RRP. Seriously! Put another way, either the author or his publisher (or both) are guilty of demanding a high price for this author's knowledge. Personally, I find that arrogant and sad.
Other than that, if you want to know all about Capture NX, this is probably one of the best books on the subject. Please note, I have not deducted stars because of the aforementioned - but on this occasion, I do find the RRP most upsetting!
