Summary: fine for beginners, others might want to pass
Comment: I got this book thinking "ok, volume 1 is for beginners, v2 will be about advanced photography skills". Wrong, it's still for beginners (and even says so on the back of the book). Yes, it's well written, I like Scott's goofy style. It provides good information but all at a pretty basic level, like describing how your D200/300 can be used in commander mode. This is a great book if you're just starting out but most if not all of this information also available at places like "strobist".

Summary: Waiting for volume 3
Comment: I could have stacked this on volume 1 and just kept reading. Lots of useful tips! I'll be waiting for volume 3 now.

Summary: Short and to the Point
Comment: I like this little book because it gets right to the most important aspects of getting a good photograph. The examples are useful and add to the text. A good review that is worth your time.

Summary: Methods
Comment:
Scott, has a way to bring things to simple points. I've been shooting for over 15 yrs and at times you need to go back to the basics. Some very good info. I've relied on to much with my cameras metering system. Granted I shoot fashion, beauty, glamor & artistic where once had a light meter. Used photoshop to correct not that perfect balance at times on those under/overexposed shots. Indeed you can meter bracket but I did buy the Sekonic L-358 light meter and my test shots came out good. I sell my work and rather have less post production and more shooting.

Summary: I bought 2nd edition first, then had to have the 1st edition.
Comment: I bought the 2nd edition of Scott Kelby's book and found it to be quite instructive..so much so that I then purchased the 1st edition. Don't look for indepth instructions. If you want a quick and succinct answer to your question, this is a good book.
