Yup, got Blochis book here too.
As for the LL video, yeah well, I am not saying this is a Habilitation on fine art printing, and it sure was not intended to be one, but for a relatively complex matter at hand, they managed to give the listener more than a overview into the entire process, loaded with little hints and tips, of course, from their point of view.
From the history to date developments, to matting and framing of the final product, they do cover a heck of a lot of ground in deed.
For anyone who starts printing, and is that bit more serious about it, I would highly recommend it.
In opposite to Asher, I enjoyed the very few social nic nacs inbetween, and found it quite intersting to hear Jeff's opinion on aspects of up rezing, resolution in general and sharpening, particulary after Bruce passed away and Jeff is working ever so more closely with Thomas Knoll now. You really think they are removed from books? I assume you never read a book from Scott Kelby then. LOLOL
As for the swamping of the market with new book releases, it is a money making maschine, and I got some insights into this while working together with the USA publishing VP of O'Reilly Media last year. Very intersting in deed! See, the release cycles of Adobe, and not only Adobe of course, is triggering those mass market writers/publishers. Inevitably, when CS4 comes out, they will swamp the market again with a phletora of redundant literature, re packaged stuff that has been already written 3 years ago, may be 10-15% is covering new ground/features, the rest has been said plenty times before.
Back to the video, this is very different then the well known Photoshop Videos, the latter I find utterly ridiculous most of the time. Then again, ymmv. As for me writing a detailed review, sorry, thanks but no thanks.
