We want to keep the excitement level up with a sneak peak at our lineup of CS4 books coming soon! Check out the Special Announcements section below for more details. This month we have an old favorite returning with a new edition—Michael Rubin's, The Little Digital Video Book, Second Edition, now in full color and completely updated for the modern beginning videographer.
