If you only had one digital photography book, would this be it? My biased answer is a resounding "Yes!" The Digital Photography Companion is off the press and headed to bookstores everywhere as you listen to this show.
Because you're a member of this virtual camera club, however, you deserve a little inside information. And that's exactly what you're going to get in this podcast -- interesting tidbits about the book that you can't get anywhere else. I've also typed up my notes in the TDS post titled, "The Digital Photography Companion": Author's Release Notes.
And remember, this is the official camera guide of The Digital Story. It even has the TDS logo on the back.

Paper is this month's photo assignment. Writing paper, wallpaper, bathroom sheets, doctor's office, paper pushers, paper airplanes... lots of possibilities for this one. You can read more about how to submit on our Submissions page. Deadline for entry is March 31.

Book arrived today, and hav'nt put it down.I I have been in the game of image recording "one way or the other" for over 40 years, and ths book I can reccomend as being one of the best. Full of practical information, and it clears up those annoying lapses in one's knowledge. Better images will be the result after reading this gem!
Great post! I?m just starting out in community management/marketing media and trying to learn how to do it well - resources like this article are incredibly helpful.

The example above is something that I worry about as well, how to show your own genuine enthusiasm and share the fact that your product is useful in that case
