Informative book, if this is your thing.

Well presented, very thorough presentation of his life with lots of information I didn't know about his life and his death.  It is not a quick read, and is academic in its writing style, so it is not catchy and/or entertaining, but is interesting and educational.

Gave it to husband as a gift and he has found some useful information in it. I think it's cute. There is more stuff than you could imagine in that thing.

Pretty elementary information, but there are some pearls of useful info in there.  For the real beginner, this is a fine source.

Good information,  gets a bit technical, but still easily understood for a novice, I believe.

A lot of us that have been around bar bands and helped them set up or have home studios sort of take for granted the knowledge we have gained over the years.

 As you read this book you will probably think to yourself that you already know a lot of it.  But for newbies to sound engineering or home recording this is actually a pretty good book.

I've seen college textbooks that didn't have nearly as much useful information as this book has.

If you know somebody studying broadcast engineering or maybe going to a recording class this could be a handy book to sort of slip to them and advise them to maybe get a few pointers that their college professors don't really know about.

 But it's also good for a garage band trying to find their sound.  You want to be distinctive so that when you record your future hit and hear it on the radio, you can look back to your early days with fondness.

You probably already know your equipment and its quirks.  However there might be some things you haven't gotten exactly right.

A lot of time and experimentation can probably be saved if you read this book.
Even roadies that load in the equipment off of the truck can benefit from knowing how to set it up to achieve optimal results.

Nothing new here.  Common sense tells you most of what is contained in this book.

I am only about half way through the book. It is informative. It is okay and I would recommend. Just don't let your Nasty Person ,see you reading it. Title might be offensive.....

A few useful items for reference but most of the information you probably know already.  The author has a clear and well paced writing style so it's an enjoyable read.

This was not a thrilling book by any means, but it was informative. I read it in little chunks so I could get through it.

Lot's of information, although it can be somewhat redundant. There are a lot of negative reviews by people who don't understand the text. This book is interesting and I enjoyed it.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this book.  All I know, is that I got pulled in.  This book has some useful information, but really knows how to engage your attention.  I can't say much more about it, but from what I've read, I like it.

Little difficult of a read, but good information.

I bought this for a friend, who found it informative and useful. I have every intention of reading it, but so far, I haven't. So there you are, for whatever that's worth.

This is a good and well written book. It's important to realize it does say "for beginners" in the title. I would think of it more of a 'synopsis' than anything else. It will give people a good idea about whether they do or don't want to try this. But this book isn't what I would consider to be the only book you want to read on this subject. More thorough explanations can be found in 'Protein Power' or Mr Atkins books, etc.

But I've found this book has mentioned some things I've forgotten, a few new things, and some good recipes. So for the current discount to only .99 on yer kindle, I can't complain for a second.
