 Aperture 2- Engaging !!!!!! Nov 14, 2009
I have found this book to be well-composed, easy to understand and helpful towards the goal of master certification with Apple.
If you are new to digital photography and editing, then you should seriously consider purchasing this book and the Aperture 2 software.
Cheers -- Joe. FApple Pro Training Series: Aperture 2

Great combo for learning Aperture Oct 09, 2009
The book and content are excellent. Would have been nice to use the included CD, but my iMac froze 4 times when the CD was inserted. Never got it to work and no contact was listed to rectify the problem.
UPDATE: See my last comments below. CD replaced promptly by publisher after others directed me to the correct place. Thanks to all.
 Aperture 2 Oct 08, 2009
Not worth the money, contents of lessons does not match the dvd lessons. Lessons are hard to follow.
 Needs some work Jul 09, 2009
The book is well made and the presentation is good except as noted below. This is probably the best of the "follow along with the program style books" I have used, but the use of the program along with jumping into the text constantly slows learning.
The illustrations and screen shots are ubiquitous, but in some cases are too dark and too small. My real quibble with the text is the discussion of the importing and organizing of photos. The user interface for this activity is very different from the "Photoshop Bridge" style. This might not be a problem except I found it very unintuitive and poorly explained as well. The fact that .JPE ( what my camera puts out for embedded Adobe RGB 1998 files) will not open is not made clear and I wasted an entire day finding this out and buying a file rename program. There is no error message from the program, either.
Since Aperture is advertised as a program to organize and provide a framework for photo projects, and not a pixel mover like Photoshop, I found this lack of clarity to be puzzling. If the style of the interface and the poor introduction are not a problem, then I would rate the book higher.

Great workflow primer Jun 21, 2009
I have been using Aperture for some time and felt that I was not getting as much out of it as I could have. I ordered this book based on the positive reviews here. The book has given me some great ideas about how to manage my work more effectively. Some of the ideas are reviews and some were new to me. The book provides interesting step-by-step examples that teach the various concepts. The included photo files allow the reader to create results just like the examples in the book. I believe that just about anyone can learn from this book, regardless of experience level.
