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 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. |
