I was very impressed by the look and feel of this book - it is a magnificent volume - and by the step by step tutorials. I have learned a lot from this book - I didn’t know, for instance, that the GIMP is great for drawing, has very advanced drawing tools, and that it’s capabilities for animations are quite sophisticated. The explanations of how to use GIMP for animation, drawing and illustration and website design all showed me aspects of the GIMP that I knew nothing or very little about.

The Book of Gimp is a valuable resource for learning GIMP and for getting the maximum benefit out of this program. I am sure there are many ways to think about this, but personally I tend to think that it is quite OK to spend a little on a good learning tool and reference for a great free program, not least because compared to the price of the alternative (Photoshop) the cost is quite moderate and reasonable.

The Book of GIMP is an excellent guide to an excellent program. Most likely the free program - available both for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux - and this book will be all you need even if you are a professional photographer or Web designer. And in addition to great content and aesthetic appeal, this book is also very well written. I strongly recommend that you try the GIMP and this book. It’s a powerful and useful combo!
