too much hype for too little information, Jan 18 2009

First of all about author's web page wich is mentioned on almost every page of the book. It's mentioned if you want to search for more detailed information on the written topic. The web page doesn't exist anymore. I've searched for the name of author and got some confusing results about him, it looked like he's involved in many cases of stealing information from other videographer's homepage.
but anyway - the book is here and you can read it as it is. But still, disappointment with the web page - each time you start to get interested in the stuff he's writing, the article stops with forwarding to the nonexistent web page. The book is 200 pages thick (or thin) so the info of the web page could easily be fitted into the book, making it decent reference material. But now i'd say for the final judgment:
a couple of decent ideas for little money
So if you're starting and don't know anything, then you can read it, but don't take it too seriously, it has some crap too and you need to think and judge to filter it out

Can't say enuf about the excellent in-depth knowledge about the video business that's contained in this book. It's not like any of the other video books I've read, which mostly focus on the production side and only talk about how to shoot footage, not what to do with it afterwards. I now know exactly how to sell my videos and how to market myself and increase my profits. I make documentary-style shorts, and this book was full of how-to's and clever suggestions I would never have thought of.

Useless book. This book is mostly an ad for the author's website, and the website is a big ad for the book. This book offers no new ideas, or even any tips. This is the kind of rubish that is weakening the video production business. According to this book any one can go out with their cheap $300 camera and make professional video, WRONG! It is this kind of thinking that makes for horrible clients and is shrinking the market. This book shows no respect for those of us that truely respect the medium.
