Summary: OK - but look out for mistakes
Review: Actually, I would rate the book about 2.5 stars. An average book that looks like it was written for Premiere 6.0 and then the single chapter on Titles was appended. However the book contains a lot of detail with mistakes as you progress through the lessons. Examples - Page 98 item 8, the "finish keyframe is D, not A. Another one that plagued Ch 4 and 5 was that Page 87 had the student set "Blast 14 to 37:15 with a duration of 2:15, which makes a total of 40 seconds. However, the rest of the lessons have this timing off, which affects the applied audio as well (Ch 5). While some techniques were nice to know, they were then repeated rather than adding new techniques to those already learned. My opinion is that Mr Peck was in a hurry to get something in print. This training book and CD could have been much better. I would have liked something a little better.

Summary: Too many mistakes
Review: There are too many mistakes in this book. There are too many instances where the details in the tutorials in the book don't match the files on the companion CD-ROM. This causes too much confusion when trying to complete the tutorials accurately. This also wastes a lot of time.
