By Stephen S. Rubin
While the information presented by the author Mitchel M.D.(no mention at all of co-author Pip Lauren?) is accurate - it's really too superficial to be of use. This "book" is really a very short pamphlet (no page numbers). Not nearly the extensive guide shown in the picture. I realize for $3.99 I wasn't expecting something detailed, hence the title, "Quick Start Guide . . . " but this pamphlet is what one would expect when installing new software (you know, the piece of folded paper you unwrap that shows each step . . . or a very small booklet). Yes, these are called quick guides and that is what this is. And while there is nothing wrong with this nor the information contained, I was expecting more. In fact this book is probably on scale with a PowerPoint presentation which it probably was at one time. I do know that for a few dollars more you can download better guides (I just finished reading the paper copy of "Podcast Solutions: The Complete Guide to Audio and Video Podcasting by Michael Geoghegan and Dan Klass which is a detailed read AND great podcast reference (which this is not). I will most likely also buy the Kindle version so I have it on my tablet. To be fair to the author, my review of this "Quick Guide" may be somewhat critical because I DID read the Geoghegan and Klass book first. But I was expecting a bit more detail as shown from the picture of the "paper book" (as well as a picture of the Blue Yeti which indeed is a fine USB mic) and possibly was looking for additional insight. To that extent I gathered enough information off the internet that the book offered no greater information (e.g., USB microphones, GarageBand (Mac), Audacity (Windows), etc.). Mea culpa.
