I bought the book in question when it was called Easy Pic'n  as well as the 
Pic'n Up The Pace title and found it to be a very valuable resource.  I 
tried the free method of looking up stuff on the net but didn't get very 
far until I actually bought Easy Pic'n.  The book puts everything into easy 
to understand terms and only shows you what you need to know to get started 
instead of bombarding you with useless (useless to a beginner anyway) 
information that only causes confusion and more things to worry 
about.  After you have the basics down, web resources and the other 
"useless information" makes a whole lot more sense and because valid bits 
of knowledge.  I'm a hands on, lets get started type of person as opposed 
to read the manual front to back in attempt to attain complete 
understanding.  This book got me started very quickly and allowed me to 
actually write (copy out of the book) a working program the first time I 
opened it up.  Anyway, just my 2 cents.  I highly recommend the book.
