Don't buy the Kindle edition
I bought the paper edition and loved it, but because I don't want to bring this book along with me on set I also bought the kindle edition. I expected the kindle edition to be like a dictionary that I could look ideas up in, but the images are way to small.You can enlarge them, but why do you need to?The illustrations should have been placed before the text instead of after or ideally (like in the book) next to it. Reading about a setup when you can't see the illustration until after you read it doesn't make any sense and people remember pictures more than words. In the book the illustrations are on the opposite page so you can refer back and forth as you are reading. Buy the book or wait for another, updated version.For me, what would have been useful would be to have all the illustrations as a picture book so that I quickly can look something up, then click on the image and be brought to the page that describes the shot.Also it would have been great to have the illustrations in colour (I assume the book is black and white for cost reasons)

Good basic filmmaking - no surprizes
Very, very basic. Good for students who want to learn film language and grammer. Good use of examples for didactic purposes. I have recomended it to my first year students.

doesn't worth to buy, really no guiding rules in this book, just examining particular scenes

Great information, clever ideas.
I really like this series of books. Between the three books in this series over 300 camera shots are covered. If you are shooting a film, whether it’s a short, feature, no budget or big budget, this series of books can help you figure out your shot-list. I do wish the pictures were better. They are all black and white, even one in particular that discusses using color in your shot. Other than that a detailed reference series that will be useful to all filmmakers and video makers.

Fantastic book and incredibly useful, especially if, like me, you are preparing a dialogue heavy film.
