David Busch's Compact Field Guide

I have a minty fresh copy of this that I got when I bought my D7000 along with Darrell Young's D7000 guide. This is essentially a more in depth and readable version of the manual, plus its spiral bound laminated cover and glossy pages make it a little less destructable. These run $10 new on Amazon, and since I have little use for mine I'm offering it up for whatever it costs to ship it to someone (about $6 for USPS priority).

So, if you've got a D7000 and want a decent field guide, ping me with your address.

So, Jake ( @BackdoorHippie ), I know this is an older post, but it seems a fair place to ask this question:

Given the option of David Busch's Compact Field Guide AND/OR the full guide to D7100 DSLR photography, would you recommend 1 over the other? Having experience with the basic settings, etc., would I really need the full guide, or would you say "YES, it's good to buy both. Get them NOW!"??

I don't have David Busch's "guide" book, only the Compact Field Guide. I had Darrell Young's D7000 book, which is extremely good.

Here's my take on those books - you don't need them both. If I had to break it down real simple...

Busch Field Guide - it's like having the manual read to you by the author with additional commentary.

Darrell Young Book - it's like a having the manual read to you by the author while they're also telling you, "And this is how I used the options in this menu..."

If I had to have one I'd go with the Darrell Young book. With it and the D7000 in hand I went from zero experience with a digital SLR to comfortable enough to be able to figure out what I'd forgotten in short order. I read that one first, with the intention of having the Busch Guide available after the fact. Both follow the same road map, using the original manual order and expounding, but the Young book will give you more practical examples.

Cool. Thanks for the quick response! Grabbing the Kindle version now...
