By Loomis...heard he's amazing, so...

I've looked at amazon and saw that this book rides at about 80-120 dollars, or at least that's what I gathered from the sellers there.

Does anyone have this book and do they think this is worth it, and if it is where did you get yours and how much did it cost you?

I was hoping to put it on my Christmas list (Being only 15 I'm not allowed to buy myself anything >=O So I have to ask for it and waste my parents money, I'd be more than happy to buy it for myself.)

Most of his books have been out of print (English versions anyway) for a long time, that's why the prices are so high.

Get the pdf versions from the link HK posted but be sure and read them, don't just look at the pretty pictures.

Oh whoops I hadn't checked this thread out in a bit...you can download books off the internet now? God I wish I knew that earlier...

Thanks much for the link Hk. But, do I have to have a program to read those files?

Yup, Adobe reader.

Chances are that it's already installed on your pc, if it's not get it from adobe.com.

Yeah, I tried using them and ImageReady CS2 came up instead, I guess I don't have reader. Thanks for the link flake. =D
