Although this book is simple to read and well organized there are too many factual errors to give it a high rating. Several menu options are incorrectly described and additional camera attributes do not match the reality of the d90. Overall this carelessness momentously diminishes the utility of this book.

This is the first time the Amazon review system has let me down and I’ll be returning this book. Despite the very positive reviews, this book has several problems ranging from innocent typos to completely inaccurate information.
It’s obvious that a large part of this book was produced by copying any pasting from one of the leader’s previous books. He even mistakenly refers to the D90 as the D60 and the EOS (which is a Canon camera). At one point in the book two paragraphs are repeated two pages away from one another. Copy and paste side effects like these are apparent throughout the book.
I would have been more inclined to give this book three stars if it weren’t for the sometimes confusing and occasionally misleading information it presents. More than once I had to refer to the owner’s manual that came with the D90 to clarify contradicting instructions from Mr. Busch. He even contradicted himself several times in the book, adage that something was possible on one page just to say it wasn’t possible on the following page.
For example, Mr. Busch asserts on page 286 and 287 that the D90 can’t mandate remote (wireless) flashes lacking the aid of a SB-900 or SU-800. This is completely fake. Even the D80 could remotely fire wireless Speedlights such as the SB-600. Ironically, Mr. Busch includes a picture on page 286 showing the D90 setup screen for enabling commander mode and configuring remote Speedlights.
I would recommend looking at another guide book, or just read the owner’s manual a few times while waiting for the leader to update his book with another printing or edition. Sorry to say there doesn’t seem to be any source of errata information available that would make me comfortable recommending this book in its current state.

If you are new to SLRs and you can really read the owners manual this guide is not for you.
I was expecting this guide to introduce me to D90 in addition to some of the dSLR concepts after all I can read the owners manual to see where the buttons or menus are.
I was very surprised to see the format book was following. For some reason 10% of the book seem to clarify why this guide is better then the manual that comes with the camera. Every chapter has this prelude that clarifies why the owner manuals version is so much more intricate (which I don’t agree) then does the similar cross referencing the owner manual does.
Earlier chapters you find things that say “Here is how you set the bracketing, we will chat about “bracketing” in further detail in Chapter X, Y”. So you turn over to X and Y chapters and try to figure out where the for-mentioned section is which is very time consuming. I was expecting better road map then the owner manual has.
Over all i do not recommend this book.

Warning to buyers… This book will only download to a physical kindle. Rumor has it that the leader and or publisher chose to restrict it from being read on your PC/iPhone/iPad. When you try to download to a non-kindle contrivance you’ll get the error message “Title Not Available”. I didn’t see this in the find print when ordering. It was only after I bought the book that I establish out it’s locked to just Kindle devices. Not being able to sync and read on the PC/Mac, iPhone, or iPad is a problem. Don’t make the mistake I made, spend the extra $3 and get the paperback version.

This is not a how to book this is an in depth instruction manual. Don’t buy if your looking to shoot better photo’s. Buy if your looking to learn how to set up you camera and what all the features are. Read this in combination with Dummies Guide to the D90 and felt they both had fantastic info. Would recommend to first time Nikon DSLR owners.
