Summary: A bit of jealousy perhaps?
Comment: I bought this book for several reasons: I had the previous version and saw that this contained "all new content"; because I have several of Kelby's other books and 'cuz I can never get enough Photoshop books.
Then I read through all the reviews and had to laugh at the people that gave this book 1 -2 stars. What a laugh. Are you perhaps a little jealous of Kelby's success? Comments like didn't live up to the hype, no advanced tricks etc make me wonder if THEY read the book!
To me the point of a book like this is to show me the idea of how a particular look is created and then I run with it and create my own variations. To suggest that I could have got all these fresh ideas from "any" Photoshop book is ridiculous. Most Photoshop books re-hash the manual to teach you how the program works. This is one of the few books that leaves that out and gives me great ideas to work with.
Highly recommended!

Summary: A great idea book
Comment: Don't listen to Don from Florida. No book can include fonts - THAT'S ILLEGAL! More importantly, Don has missed the point. Scott Kelby's book is demonstating techniques that can be applied to ANY font, not just the fonts used in the book. I'm not sure how he missed that, but I was able to take the techniques shown in the book and make MY fonts look very cool. If I was only able to use a technique on one specific font, that would make for a pretty lame technique. That's not the way this book works.
The Down & Dirty Tricks book gave me lots of great ideas that I can adapt and make my own. I've only begun to scratch the surface with this book and it's already been well worth the money!
Highly recommended!!!!!!!

Summary: Great for all levels of Photoshop Users
Comment: This book as well as the other "Down & Dirty Tricks" books have been an absolute asset. I could not recommend them more to a Photoshop user, whether it's for print design (which is what I do), digital photography, or web design. The reason why I praise this book so much is because of the ease of use. The tips are step-by-step and easy to understand. Mr. Kelby does not fall into speaking a language that only professionals understand, and for that this book is a great tutor. While it can be compared to learning how to play music without actually knowing how to read musical notes, the information is definitely invaluable.
