Back in February I told you how to write your own book using CreateSpace. Well, some of my friends listened, and now I am happy to show you two new books written by friends who chose to use CreateSpace.
Some of you in the local area may, or may not know that we have a music industry legend in the area. Robert TenEyck is an inventor and electrical engineer who was responsible for many great guitar amplifiers, including the Teneyck guitar amp. Robert's autobiography ​The Shortest Distance Between Two Events Is Timing is a hilarious account of Robert's life. In one tale he recounts how, while hitchhiking in New Jersey some boys picked him up and drove him past his house and dropped him off 3 miles beyond. Then they came back and picked him up. To find out how many times they picked him up and dropped him off 3 miles from his house, get the book, don't wait for the movie.

One of my friends in Italy has written a really cool book on photography. Luigi Barbano's new book Photography: The f Manual  isn't like some dusty old treatise you might find at the Booknook. Luigi's book talks about everything from f stops to file formats, the difference between JPG and TIF and how image scaling and DPI relate. His section on how camera, computer monitor and printer color calibration works is explained so well, you'll never forget it (just think toast). It even has in-depth explanations on photo composition, HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography, depth of field, printing your images, publishing, and more.
Luigi's English is pretty good yet his lovely Italian flavor and sense of humor still come through.
