Digital Photography Companion: It's Still a Pocket Guide at Heart

We just got our copies of Derrick's hot new book, The Digital Photography Companion, in the O'Reilly offices and the book officially releases this week. This is the new incarnation of the very popular Digital Photography Pocket Guide, updated with new content (the chapter on printing is worth the price of the book), a sophisticated new design (inspired by the UI feel of Aperture, iPhoto, Lightroom and Bridge), and a larger trim size (to really show off Derrick's great photos). The new trim size will make it more appealing for bookstore shelving, but we wanted to make sure it stayed portable (the Companion is someone you want with you, not home on the shelf when you need to figure out your exposure compensation setting.) So we went with a 5 1/2 by 8 1/2" size that will fit nicely in camera bags. Oh, and it still fits in some (larger) pockets. (Author carrying case not included)
