I looked through the contents of The Digital Photography Volume 1, 2 and 3 by Scott Kelby and I noticed that there are repeated chapters (chapters with the same name) like shooting wedding and shooting with flash like a pro, ...

I wonder what are the differences between these chapters, they should have different contents cause these are volumes not editions, so can anyone give more details about that?

There is more information in each of the books. I got a set for the 1/2 off from Costco. They're worth a read -- if nothing more they're a nice reminder on the check list that should be embedded in your head. Worse case you'll learn something new.

  • I think the poster was asking for what the differences between the editions are, and not an overview of if you like the books, where you purchased them, etc. – dpollitt Dec 19 '11 at 14:59
