I was given a free copy of this book by the publisher.
Overall, "Learning Pixelmator" is pretty clumsily written, with lots of awkward phrases and as a result reads like a first draft. For example "There are almost 30 different blending modes." Almost 30, eh? Why not just state that there are 27 blending modes? It's often wordy and redundant: "The key is resampling, which basically means that the program is going to add new pixels to the image by guessing, based on the surrounding colors. Since the program is basically guessing (although it is a very smart guess) on what types of pixels to add, you get a loss of sharpness, so as a general guideline it's not recommended to go up in size too much." This is how the whole thing reads--it's not so much inaccurate as it is distracting from the actual content. At times it's downright confusing. Here's a description of blending modes: "The options in the Comparative and Hue section will invert the color of interacting pixels and give some pretty crazy effects. Finally, the Comparative and Hue, Saturation and Lightness modes apply specific color changes." Ok, aside from the fact that Pixelmator *doesn't* actually group blending modes into named sections like "Comparative and Hue", you're left wondering here what those "crazy effects" or "specific color changes" really are. And why is "Comparative and Hue get mentioned twice here? (Pixelmator's built-in Help boils each blending mode down to a single, clear sentence like: "Hue: Paints with a tinted effect, where tinting is darkest in areas of high saturation.") Important stuff is covered too briefly: the section on Levels and Curves--among the most useful and subtle tools for color correcting images--is glossed over in just six paragraphs.
