Great stuff!
Love this book! Picked it up after reading DSLR Fundamentals for my iPhone. I had no idea there were so many inexpensive and creative ways to take macro and close-up photographs without having to buy a dedicated lens. The information on lighting (flash, reflectors, diffusing) is particularly helpful, since the method I've been trying is with a reversing ring. A great multimedia book for anyone wanting to start taking close-up shots.
