I purchased this book to help me learn about digital art and illustration. It has been enormously helpful, especially as relates to the use of Photoshop and layers. In this regard it is very comprehensive. It is easy to read and follow, and the instructions are comprehensible, even for a beginner, like me.
The only thing lacking, for my needs, was information about Corel Painter. It seems that many artists also use this program, and some reference to it would have been helpful to me. Having said that, I do understand that that there is only so much material that can be covered in a manageable sized book. Overall, I am very glad that I purchased it, and plan to use it to help in my work frequently.
