It may be great for the photography and iphoneography beginner. This book discusses the best/most loved camera and filters apps. So it is a good guide on what apps to get. But it doesn't discuss in-depth the effects each filter app gives.
The basics on manipulating contrast, saturation, levels, histogram etc are there, but no mention that adjusting the histogram/levels will also increase contrast and create a color shift, so you may want to adjust those as well. No mention of the many things Iris Photo Suite does other than ColorSense and Layers (it does cropping, aligning, color balance, has a basic histogram etc). And even layers are not explained fully (that Multiply darkens, Screen lightens, etc). I understand that the Photo Fx app was only touched briefly, because going into all its effects would require a book on it's own.
The camera apps are explained well. From the filters (or effects) apps however, only Iris, PhotoForge, PhotoGene, Perfect Photo, and Photo Fx are discussed in any depth. The rest are mentioned briefly, and more in the style of which buttons to press to load and save a picture. It's more like a manual for the user interface of each app. For example, Hipstamatic and Swankolab deserved a lot more explanation on what each filter/lens does.
I already have most of the apps mentioned, and know the basics of what they can do, because they are easy to understand. I wanted to learn what each app excels at, like "Hipstamatic's Helga Viking lens accentuates blues and reds, and applies strong contrast and medium grain to the pictures", "Cross Process' Basic setting gives photos a toned down, earthy look". This way, if I was looking for a particular effect, I would know which apps to turn to. This book doesn't do it.

This book covers a lot of basic information about using the iPhone camera, but it goes way beyond that. I was a little embarrassed to realize that I didn't know about touching the screen to change the area of camera focus! My favorite part of the book is all the enabling for apps, especially tips for self-timer and burst mode apps. I was also pleased to see links to blogs and websites for creative inspiration.
This book covers a wide range of topics related to iPhone photography:
-Basic information (user manual type of detailing)
-How to customize your iPhone camera with apps and seettings
-Photo editing
-Special effects, filters, creative techniques
-Sharing and storing photos
-Blogging your photos
-Sources for inspiration
Close to 200 pages of good information!
