Helpful but over priced.
This book is like a quick reference guide to editors who are well versed with editing already. Do not buy this book thinking you will learn editing from this. I wouldnt recommend this for a begginer.

Looks Like Kinder Garden
Thought it might contain some fascinating little gems but it didn't really. This book is not suitable for filmmakers

Valuable book
This is a brilliant little book, wonderfully written, clear - with great quotes to support each editing concept. If you keep it by your bedside, and read a few entries a night before sleep, you will start to have a good understanding of the pricinples of editing. I feel like I have learnt a lot from Greg Keast.

Awesome little book
Awesome book with loads of tips. Great book to read if you don't have a lot of time, as each page is a separate subject.
