Based on all the reviews above, I went to my local Barnes and Noble to check it out. I would consider myself a middle-of-the-roader in terms of film knowledge and experience. I've been reading like crazy and practicing for about 2 years or so. As such, I feel as though I'm beyond the beginner class. Yet there is so much still to learn that I'm nowhere near the been-there-done-that crowd.
For me, there was enough in the book to buy it (although from Amazon since it's $18 cheaper). I found the book to be a nice reminder for the stuff I already knew and a simple reference for things I could probably figure out on my own if I wanted to spend the time. Either way, it seems to be a nice, concise book that would benefit most people outside the been-there-done-that film crowd.
