...like those brilliant professors who are just bad teachers.

This book gives a solid introduction to the basic functions of Adobe 1.5 (and earlier), and its contents are clearly identified in the index, which makes the navigation easy. I was performing the basic editing in a matter of minutes. Also, the book binding is excellent--you open a page and it will stay open! This is an important feature when you are working with both of your hands on your computer. I am happy with the purchase, and I'd certainly recommend this book to others; however, there is some room for improvement for the future editions. 1. Sometimes the author forgets that we aren't all computer experts. As a result, his instructions include the language laypersons (like myself) do not understand. This is particularly conspicuous in the special effects sections of the book, where I needed help the most. 2. At the same time, the book dedicates an entire chapter on the intuitive basics with which most of us won't need help, such as opening a file, saving, saving as, switching between different views, etc. 3. Also, I got the sense that Mr. Grebler is neither a musician nor a music editor in real life. His discussion is strictly technical (i.e., technological) and doesn't include any tips on musical nuances. All in all, Mr. Grebler's style reminds me of those brilliant professors in college, who were experts in their scholarly fields yet had no idea how to teach effectively.
