Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've had Manga Studio Debut since Christmas and I've been feeling my way with it. While I love the program, I found that the instruction manual (which is in pdf format) isn't that intuitive, so I pre-ordered Manga Studio for Dummies. After a first read through, I can see that it's going to be really useful. It gives great hints and tips and explains how to use all of the tools in a really easy to understand way. There are several tools that I was obviously using wrong!
This book is well laid out, thoughtfully written and very humorous in places. It also comes with a cd, which has a trial version of Manga Studio EX and some other goodies, including bonus chapters. The book is a step by step guide to using Manga Studio (both versions) from the ground up and it's a bonus that it includes information on both the Mac and PC versions (with the caveat that the author uses PCs, not Macs!), meaning that users of both platforms will get good use out of this book. The screenshots and illustrations are clear and very useful, as are the list of tens at the back!
If you have the program, I'd really recommend getting this book to help you get the most out of Manga Studio.

Format:Paperback
This is a good book covering both the use of the Manga Studio software and the concepts of comic creation. However be aware that this book has not been updated for the latest version of Manga Studio (4.0) hence the three star rating. I am a newcomer to Manga Studio but as far as I can tell this book is based on version 3.0 and there seem to have been a number of features added/merged as well as tweaks and changes to the interface in the latest version, so be prepared for some detective work as you try to follow the steps outlined in the book. I know Dummies books often get revised, so check the product description as it will probably get updated at some point. On balance, I still think this was a worthwhile purchase (especially at less than a tenner) and, of course, if you are running version 3.0 this is going to be an excellent beginners guide.

A very good (and probably the only) published guide for those trying to get their heads around a tricky piece of software.

Quite a useful guide
This is quite useful if you want a readable tutorial for using manga studio. However if you prefer to just wing it and look up how you do something then you may as well just use... Read more
