      Multimedia for all people 21 Dec 2007
      By Jeffrey Beard - Published on Amazon.com
      Format:Paperback
      I have had the opportunity to use this as a textbook as I have studied under Dr. Counts. However, it is an excellent resource for anyone who is interested in learning about designing and producing multimedia. Dr. Counts is the consummate professional in both the arts and technical production of film and multimedia in general. I highly recommend this book and any other publication by Dr. Counts.
