I have both books, and although I would like to root for the British author, I have to say the Kelby book is better. Martin Evening vs. Scott Kelby on Lightroom 2. If only he would leave out the "Thank you Jesus" stuff and keep his religeous views to himself, this would rate 100% for me2009-03-17 Rating 5. It is user friendly and guides you thru the whole process, telling you everything you need to know on the way. The Martin Evening book covers everything too, but it's more like a maintenance manual than a how-to book. Kelby's book is really good. It's written in a way that even us amateurs can follow along and learn. Wonderful resource. I love Scott Kelby's style and this has been a valuable tool for my growth in photography and post-processing2009-03-11 Rating 5. Worth every penny!. This book is great. humorous and to the point. It's funny, which is unexpected from a technical book, but also very effective2009-03-11 Rating 4. It will have you reading by your computer so you can follow along. the stuff you will use first is presented first, so you'll be able to put the book aside and work effectively for a while then go back to the book when you are ready for more. . So I have been using LR2 for about a year and really like it but felt my work flow and image manipulation could use some help. Fun and easy work flow instructions. Scott Kelby's book doesn't 'feel' like a technical manual, more like a friend sitting down next to me at the computer and saying "ok, now this is what I do2009-03-07 Rating 5. " From the first to the last chapter the book takes a very systematic approach that starts with setting up the program, moves on to import and database catalog setup and then moves seamlessly into image manipulation. All written with a quirky humor that only Scott seems to infuse in his books. I recommend this to any photographer that is using LR. Seems like a well known author tried to rush this one through without too much effort. Lightroom 2 book for Digital Photographers. It is difficult to understand what the actual steps are to use the software2009-03-02 Rating 1. A lot of words that are not actually instruction. It was not thought out. I will go to the bookstore to find a different book. .
