While I thought this was a pretty good book when I finished it in 2003, even at that time I noted that it was dated with respect to digital photography. Of course there are many important principles to photography that are important regardless of whether one is shooting film or digital, but unless this book has been updated, it is probably not very valuable anymore when it comes to digital.
