Limited run printed publications cost money - I doubt Gary has thousands printed out. I just bought this book (and have Gary's book for each camera model that I own). It's a great resource (and so is Gary).

I also highly recommend Cameracraft magazine, which Gary co-edits with David Kilpatrick (another great resource).

Just downloaded the NEX6 ebook to go with Minolta 7D, A100, A700, A850, A77. Gosh I hope my wife doesn't read this!

Just bought my copy-$26.50 seems fine for one of Gary's books in 3 formats. Do have the NEX-7 one from iBooks (a little cheaper though) too.

Gary's books are worth every penny. Get the pdf version instead of the printed if money is the issue.

Gary's books are insanely helpful. I read the a99 book in its (almost) entirety when I was coming back from London and I have to say, it was the most productive use of my time and I learned so much about every little detail about the a99. The best part was, it never felt like I was reading way too much tech jargon (even as an engineer, I get bored quickly). The vocabulary and writing style was worth every penny. If I needed to learn the NEX-6, I'm getting this book. He even provides the updates for free :D

Here's the best part: It looks like Gary's self-published so I didn't feel bad about a middleman (publisher) selling it for $30 and Gary keeps $0.05 per copy hahaha

Agree with every word, especially about how Gary's book inform and are never boring. What I wanted to add is how much I learned about my a850 from reading the a77 book! There were many features common to both cameras that I had been unaware of after having used the a850 for more than 3 years.

As a camera salesman, I do one-on-one training with customers. I frequently quote Gary when training on Sony products, then give people the web address for Gary's books.

Yes, I'll second that. I buy lots of books, but rarely new ones. Gary's are one of the few that I know will never disappoint me. I have the A58, the A900, and now the Nex 6 one. There is a lot of commonality (many of the camera functions are similar) but there's enough difference - and practical experience of using the camera in it - to make it still worthwhile buying if the camera is significantly different from the mdoel you have already.
Miranda F & Sensorex, Sony A58, Nex-6, Dynax 4, 5, 60, 500si/600si/700si/800si, various Sony & Minolta lenses, several Tamrons, lots of MF primes and *far* too many old film cameras . . .
