Customer Reviews

Not quite as advertised
I bought this book having had a chance to look at the 08 version. Unfortunately this version no longer contains the photography advice. It's currently still mentioned in the description. I am guessing that the description of the 08 book was simply recycled.
That said, although the part on taking pictures is missing, it is a very thorough guide to iPhoto 09. It covers in detail the different ways you can sort and edit your photos, and how you can leverage that work and show it off to your friends and family. IPhoto has a lot of options that you might not even look for unless you know they are there.
If you don't need quite such an in-depth guide, you might be better off with David Pogue's Digital Photography: The Missing Manual, which gives a good overview of iPhoto alongside the photography advice.

iPhoto the missing manual Revisited
I own quite a few Missing Manuals (most for the iLife series) so I wondered whether I should buy another one when I bought iLife9 .
Well I am really glad I did buy the iPhoto'09 Missing Manual. It is in color now and that makes all the difference. The writing is still
nice and easy to read, the illustrations are just a pleasure to see, the book is a joy to hold and I am learning quite a few new things
(Events, Faces, Places) even though I am a user of iPhoto since it became available for OS X.
