"Great book but missing important resources" - by batsys on 08-MAR-2011
Reviewer Rating:
A great book, well written and very informative. But (and this is a very important but) an essential resource is missing from the Safari version - there is no CD containing the sample images and photoshop actions required to work through the exercises in the book. This imformation is not available without buying the paper copy of the book. As the book is based around these resources its a bit useless making this book available via Safari. This would have been a 5* review if the resources were available.
