The Handbook is designed to meet the needs of prosumers and
professionals who are currently shooting with one of the DV
formats. It is not an “HDV for Dummies” book that simply
expands upon the often poorly written camcorder manuals.
Rather, it is a comprehensive introduction to ProHD
technology, HD shooting, HD post-production, and
distribution on HD videotape, DVDs, high definition DVD,
and 35mm film.
The
230-page eBook costs only $39.95 and can be purchased using

Carte Blanche, Diners Club, Discover, Eurcard, JCB,

I purchased Steve's book and would certainly recommend it. it was well worth the money. My HD100 arrived a week after I purchased the book and it certainly help me "jump start" my knowledgebase and capability of the camera and HD in general. That was 3 weeks ago, without the book I would still be on week 1. I don't think you can go wrong, especially at his price point.
