In a crowded market this book stands out as a fine guide to the basics of a powerful program.
It is well laid out and comprehensive in coverage; the first guide I have found to list keyboard shortcuts.
All of the functions are explained, with more detail given to the common ones. This makes it a useful reference whilst carrying out a task and a source of just about all the techniques and information a beginner would need.
I thoroughly recommend it to beginners who are struggling to use, what I at least, found to be a puzzling and at times exasperating piece of software. At last my results are satisfying and I am encouraged to move on to more advanced work with the aid of this excellent book. By the way the price is real world too!
