Dangerous Ideas

I just got Akkana’s new book, Beginning GIMP: From Novice to Professional. I haven’t done much more than skim sections, but what I’ve seen is looks pretty good. There are sections that show how to do particular tasks with step-by-step instructions, which is really helpful for someone like me who has always found the GIMP interface confusing (and who only uses GIMP infrequently). Plus, it’s great that Apress splurged on the glossy pages so the images really stand out! It’s also great to see another addition to the list of books written by LinuxChix!

For those in the area, Akkana will be giving a presentation on GIMP and her new book at the Micro Center in Santa Clara this Saturday (5/20/2006) at noon.
