1. Re: Martin Evening's Book not shipping until the end of May??
Seán McCormack Mar 23, 2007 3:11 AM (in response to KateMann)Nope. Perhaps this may be the case Katherine, because the book is printed. I have a copy here (courtesy of Martin-writing for Lightroom-news.com has this one perk!). -

Gene DeLallo Mar 23, 2007 4:18 AM (in response to KateMann)Can we get the book someplace else? -

KateMann Mar 23, 2007 4:24 AM (in response to KateMann)Peachpit Press is sold out. :(
Just checked Chapters/Indigo in Canada - "temporarily unavailable to order"
I won't need the book by the time it ships. -

(Clive_Blackwood) Mar 23, 2007 5:19 AM (in response to KateMann)I think the Publishers for Martins book did not anticipate the demands very well.

JohnVPhotos Mar 23, 2007 6:59 AM (in response to KateMann)Here in the US I pre-ordered Martin's book last week from Amazon and just checked delivery date...Delivery estimate: March 29, 2007 - March 31, 2007
Not too bad but I really want to get up to speed with Lightroom so I just ordered from BarnesandNoble.com, will be here tomorrow...cool! It's about $3.00US more...but it's only money. -

(William_M_Porter) Mar 23, 2007 9:01 AM (in response to KateMann)My copy arrived from Barnes & Noble (barnesandnoble.com) yesterday. I ordered it about two months ago. I stayed up late last night and got through most of it. There are lots of pictures. ;-)
I did learn a number of tidbits that are quite useful, and I intend to reread everything. But overall it was a bit more, um, general, than I had hoped. Probably very good for someone brand new to Lightroom. I think I'm going to be getting at least one more book. Not sure which.

This would be me!
Also I'd like to recommend the 4.5 Hour Multi-Segment Training Video
with Michael Reichmann and Jeff Schewe for $14.95:

A better deal below with the LL Video Journal for $20.00

I have no affiliation with the above....just a happy customer. -

ifarlow Mar 24, 2007 3:38 PM (in response to KateMann)I just purchased a copy of this book from Barnes & Noble yesterday (March 23). I only saw one in the store, but there may have been more somewhere else. I went to the B&N in Duluth, Georgia (Gwinnett Place Mall) for anyone looking for this book. -

(John_Verne) Mar 26, 2007 6:51 PM (in response to KateMann)My order was fulfilled and shipped March 25. I pre-ordered about a month ago.
Apparently the book is "in transit". I expect to have it tomorrow or the next day. -
16. Re: Martin Evening's Book not shipping until the end of May??
(Sam_Posten) Mar 27, 2007 8:21 AM (in response to KateMann)It was in store at the local barnes and noble yesterday. It is beautiful and clearly laid out and seems very comprehensive.
But it just didnt seem like the right book for _me_.
It goes over how to get to every feature and what each one does, but, at least on first glance, it doesnt seem to go too in depth on strategies for using the tool as a whole or creating workflows or really meaty tricks and tips.
I'm going to wait for Scott Kelby's book to drop and check that out, and may pick that up instead, or may go back and get Martin's if it seems like a tossup, not sure. -

KateMann Mar 29, 2007 5:22 AM (in response to KateMann)I thought I would post my addendum - I canceled my order for Martin's book about the same time as I posted this thread. A few days later I noted that amazon.ca was stating that the book was in stock and shipping within 24 hours. Oh well.
I bought a new Canon D400 body instead. :) I'm much happier with it!
