Summary: The Definitive NLE 101 Textbook
Review: No one explains how NLE started and how the technology works better than Mr. Ohanian. It answers every question and answers questions you didn't even know you had to ask. Well written and well organized.

Rating:
Summary: Disappointing and Overpriced for the Content
Review: The title of this book should be The Technology Components of Digital Nonlinear Editing. Definitely not worth 49.95. If you know computers, don't buy it.
