I first came across this at Heathrow Terminal 5 last November, and thought a good magazine was just what I was after. What I didn't realise was that this wasn't your run of the mill photography magazine with biased product reviews and opinions, but a step by step guide on how to improve the different types fo shots you may want to take, such as landscape, night, sunsets etc.
This could be the best resource to buy a first time SLR user, as it explains the basics easily, but also other features such as bracketing and exposure compensation in a clear manner. I've even gone so far as to give away my original copy to a friend, and bought myself a new one!!
When they say 'Ultimate' guide, the sure weren't kidding.
