Nikon D90 for Dummies
This is the third 'Dummies' book I have purchased and as with the previous books it is of the same high standard.
I have read the book cover to cover and found the layout to be logical, and the progression leads the reader to ever more technical information.
This book I would recommend to both beginners and the more experienced as I now refer to this for the more specialised equipment I am using.
