Title: Not worth the cost of shipping
Review: Of course this book is now seriously outdated, but if you are tempted to pick it up cheap, I'd recommend against it, because it was outdated and full of useless filler even when it was published in 2003. Outdated information from previous editions was left to pile up, so this book is more of a history book than a description of the state of the art at the time. Other info belongs in other textbooks. For example, the description of how the Internet works (IP addresses and such) isn't relevant to multimedia production.There are also a bunch of sidebars that are supposed to be entertaining or deep. I found most of them to be boring and self-indulgent.
Is the review positive or negative?
