Much batter than the manual

The real treat is from the two instructional DVDs that accompany the book (which is useful, though generic). The host's explanations are simple, but not condescending; and include plenty of visual aids and examples. The material is well-organized and paced perfectly. If you don't know what all those buttons and functions do, put your manual down and get this book and DVD set.
