Query: Great for beginners.

Having a considerable amount of experience with other non-linear editing programs but no real experience with Premiere, I picked up this book to try out the program. Within an hour I had my DV cam hooked up and controlled by the computer; within four hours, I had completed my project and dumped it all back to DV tape, a half-hour long program edited to the minute. Without this book I would've been stuck. The only improvements I would suggest would be more in-depth demonstrations, but for first-timers, it's a must-have.
