I think the only reason I don't rate this book higher is because it's been out a while, and the information is somewhat outdated. However, it did include s broad overview of photography helpful in guiding a budding micro stock photographer. His reviews of certain things seemed a little opinionated, and maybe not honest and self serving. He states he uses medium format, but than assumes anyone reading his book wouldn't see the logic in shelling out that much money for the camera. And reinforces that all you really need is a decent dslr. Educate but keep them stupid I guess. I can see using this book as a resource to get my started, but I didn't trust most of the information I read.

Tell you know to shoot, not how to actually sell and market.
